I thank the witnesses for the presentations and documentation. I acknowledge the considerable volume of work that the witnesses and the teams in the housing departments do. I pay tribute to them and if the witnesses could convey that after the meeting, I would be grateful. To both council representatives, I would like to pick up on Deputy McAuliffe's point, specifically in relation to land and the five-year programme for delivery of new-build social and affordable homes. Without getting into a precise figure, of the programmes laid out to the committee, how much is on council land versus how much of the new builds will require Part Vs, turnkeys or other private sector land developments? Do the witnesses have any worries that if there is a slowdown in, for example, private sector commencements next year or the year after, as some industry commentators are saying, that acquiring those turnkeys or Part Vs might be challenging? Perhaps Mr. McLoughlin could go first.
