Both local authorities are starting to work with larger, more complex and mixed-tenure projects, which is a good thing. That can often lead to an extended period of time between when planning is approved and construction starts. Will the witnesses outline to the committee in brief what that process looks like? The witnesses could take a specific project, for example, the recent planning approval in south Dublin for a Part 8 development in Kishoge with 250 units or a comparable one in Fingal, to give the committee a sense of how long that takes and if there are ways of improving or streamlining that. I am thinking about whether there has been progress on the single point of approval in the Department for mixed-tenure developments, which was referred to in the Minister's review earlier this year. Perhaps Ms Farrelly will go first.
