Mr. Brendan McGrath:

The rigidity of the calendar year is not a good tool for judging this. Galway City Council will be judged on its delivery at the end of the period. We are confident we will meet the target and exceed it. If we miss our target this year, we have to do better next year. I am old enough and long enough in the system to remember when we had multi-annual housing programmes that were predicated exactly on that basis. We have carried that on into both Rebuilding Ireland and now Housing for All.
