I thank Mr. Coleman. A point he made earlier regarding passive house standards at the Shanganagh development is of interest to me. I remember being ridiculed at a council meeting about five years ago for suggesting that local authorities should try to build to passive house standards. I was told that I lived in a parallel Green universe and that it would never happen. I am glad to see those universes are aligning now, if the LDA is going for passive house standards at Shanganagh.

In modular building, we can achieve real energy efficiencies and advances in technology that can speed up delivery. Will the witnesses indicate what they are looking at in terms of modular building or other advances in building construction technology to speed up delivery and provide much more energy-efficient and sustainable housing?
