Mr. John Sheahan:

On the delivery of housing, there seems to be a certain amount of frustration in relation to interactions between our executives and the Department.

I have no quick fixes as regards how we can improve that.

On developing a land bank, we have an existing public land bank with local authorities and as I have already stated, other public bodies have land banks as well. I would like to see modelling done on the other land banks and if that is successful, it should not be a deterrent for local authorities to purchase land banks. If it is not successful, the Deputy's fear might come to pass.

We have discussed the Moorhead report ad nauseam. I am not going to say any more about the pay and conditions. The Government will either deliver on that or it will not. It will be one or the other. Ms Hoade touched on paternity leave. My mobile phone is my office. I do not know how I can go on paternity leave and dump that in the bin for six months. I cannot do that. How we are going to achieve that for councillors requires a lot of discussion.
