I have two further questions if the witnesses can answer, allowing for time constraints. Is there a timeline for the completion of the Knocknaheeny west quarter regeneration and can Mr. Geaney supply us with a rough estimate of its completion date? I went to the first meeting on this project in September 2000 and now 22 years later, it is still ongoing.

The other question relates to vacancy levels in Cork. Eight of the top ten areas with highest levels of vacancy are on the north side. Will that be tackled? Is there a plan in place to tackle vacancy on the north side of the city? I thank everyone for their answers. It has been a really in-depth discussion and it was great to get the knowledge and to hear about the great work local authorities are doing. What we want to do here is to help local authorities to deliver housing so anything we can do, we will. We have differences politically but as a committee, that is our goal.
