One of the issues I have heard about from people who moved abroad is job security, there is insecurity in the sector here compared with other countries. That is a huge concern for them and is an area that needs to be addressed.

The Irish Home Builders Association in its report highlighted the issues around service tier 1 and service tier 2 lands and the lack of assessments being done on that consistently around the country. We have had assessments in Dublin in recent years with the housing supply co-ordination task force for Dublin. Many of the projects it listed in 2015 that were in need of infrastructure, such as water and others, have been completed. Yet the figures at the beginning of 2017 indicate that, for example, quarter one returns on tier 2b, the number of units dependent on Irish Water investment, were 4,400 in Dún Laoghaire and 19,980 in Fingal. They are the exact same figures published for quarter four of 2021. I am trying to understand, when there has been some progress in infrastructural projects listed, why those figures are exactly the same. What does the CMA believe are the issues and will it comment on that?
