Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

I thank the Deputy. The intrusion of the Part V nomenclature into the debate is probably my fault based on some of the briefing documents I have. I agree with the Deputy. I made clear that the housing need and demand assessment will govern the tenure mix that we will have. If the Deputy is asking what takes precedence, the housing need and demand assessment will definitely take precedence. As I made clear, the expertise and history of managing this lies with the local authorities.

We see ourselves working very closely with them. The honest answer to how we avoid competition is that we do not fully know yet. We want to look perhaps at how long some of the planning permissions have been extant, to what extent they would be coming close to expiry and why. We need to find some method to ensure the State is not bidding against itself. It is not in our interests and it is certainly not in the interests of the State that we are bidding against State-supported approved housing bodies and State-supported local authorities looking for turnkey. That is close to the definition of insanity. We have got to find a way around that. I am not sure that we have it fully worked out. We have some ideas about how we might access the database. I do not yet know whether that is within our remit and if that is possible.

It might be better if Mr. Coleman answers the question on the details of Dundrum.
