The Green Party will not support this amendment. The Land Development Agency, LDA, will be implementing or master-planning this process. Its remit is to assist local authorities and the affordable housing bodies, AHBs, in delivering affordable housing. Therefore, in that tendering process, they will tender out projects and the contractors who take on that work will get their profit within the profit margins of any contractor. That is my understanding.
