Mr. Brian Geaney:

It was land that we had in city council ownership and in the jurisdiction of Cork County Council at the time. We had to apply for planning permission to Cork County Council. It was appealed to An Bord Pleanála, which granted planning permission for 153 houses, 37 of which are social. Timing was everything. We got out early. We used the serviced sites fund, as it was known at the time, that has now been replaced by the affordable housing fund. We applied to the Department for funding. We used the competitive dialogue process to engage with the market and we selected a contractor who is now on site. There are 37 units to be completed this year and 80 units next year, at a price of €217,500 for a two-bed and €243,000 for a three-bed. We have launched a scheme. There are expressions of interest and those applications are currently being assessed.
