Mr. John O'Hagan:

Our experience of the Living City initiative in the city here is that it is complex for people and there needs to be a one-stop shop. We have developed that in the city to help people. We need to streamline the processes to get rid of the barriers. Our experience of the Living City initiative is that there is a comparatively low uptake. We are veering towards recommending that a grant system be introduced, as in Amsterdam. One gives a person a grant of up to €25,000 and that person has to comply with certain measures. Rather than "Bungalow Bliss" or apartment bliss, we can get on with a certain typology.
