Mr. Brendan McGrath:

Sandy Road comprises a 20-acre site jointly owned by the city and county councils and the ESB. Strangely, the three institutions have their depots and outdoor yards there. Like Cork, we have had very strong engagement with the LDA from the outset. We carried out an RIAI - Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland - visioning exercise on Sandy Road early in the process, which showed the residential delivery in terms of the local authority elements is in the region of about 550 to 1,200. We believe the higher figure, or closer to it, is achievable. That will be, in effect, a new residential suburb. A substantial number of the units will be affordable and some will be social units. It is about 12 to 14 minutes' walk from Eyre Square, to put things in context. It will be linked to the city centre by sustainable transport. It will be a mixed-use residential area. As Ms Philbin has said, the process is moving on. Part of the challenge is that we have to relocate our depots and people off the site. Parallel work is taking place in order to enable that.
