Mr. T.J. Malone:

First of all, the relationship has improved. We are on a much better footing. Our local authority liaison team is working very closely and very well with the Meath local authority. We need to keep that momentum moving, and get better if possible. However, we are seeing improvement and movement happening on the ground.

If I put Meath into perspective, from a survey point of view, currently 50% of Meath is surveyed, and by the end of this year, we envisage that 83% to 85% will be surveyed, which is quite a substantial amount surveyed. From a build perspective, within the county about 14% is now commenced. There are approximately 19,000 houses in County Meath that fall into the intervention area, and by the end of this year, we will have 8,310 either built or under construction. This equates to about 45%. By the end of 2022 we will see the first 2,600, or the first 14% of those premises, being built.
