I live in Gurranabraher in Cork, a housing estate built 80 years ago by the Cork City Council. Local authorities are telling us they are not into large-scale direct builds any more. What do the witnesses think of that? We have seen in the past such delivery and in my city there are examples in Farranree, Churchfield, Gurranabraher, Knocknaheeny, Turner's Cross and Ballyphehane. There are all major direct builds by local authorities that delivered social housing on the scale needed.
