Mr. Frank Curran:

We mentioned a central online repository of all guidance and information. We also mentioned carrying out strategic assessment reports at programme level. Single-stage approval for mixed tenure schemes is another suggestion. The housing delivery co-ordination office will be working with practitioners around the country, which will help a lot. We also suggest a review of the single-stage process and would promote greater use of it.

Modular design builds were mentioned earlier and they definitely improve the rate at which we can get schemes completed.

The Deputy mentioned construction price inflation. It is a real issue. It is an issue in getting contractors to tender for public works contracts. It is an issue for contracts that are on site without a price variation clause. It is also an issue for subcontractors.
