Mr. Owen Keegan:

There is an issue we must address. I would say this, being in Dublin. We argued with the Department that it must be recognised that 9% of units being built in the Dublin City Council area are apartments. Apartments are just much more expensive. We must consider this fact when we are designing housing interventions. If we want people to live in the city, then the cost of housing is important. Largely by State diktat, because of the requirement for a higher density, building apartments is more expensive.
