This is the point I am making. Cork City Council delivered 32 properties in Ballinglanna and 75 on Lancaster Quay, and 1,800 people applied for one development and 900 for another. This shows that the Government targets are too low. That 1,800 people applied for 75 properties shows the interest in and the need for housing out there. This is not a criticism of Cork City Council because it is hitting every target, but the Government needs to give the council more resources to deliver what it is delivering.
