I spent a long time on Dublin City Council and, with great frustration, witnessed decades pass with little delivery of social housing. I appreciate that the local authority did not have the legislation or the schemes to provide affordable rental or affordable purchase over the last decade or so. On the Land Development Agency working with this affordable legislation, can Mr. Coleman outline what the tangible difference will be in terms of time and quantity of homes? We have talked a great deal about affordability, but people are very keen to know how real this is going to be and when.
