Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

Not to repeat anything Mr. McLoughlin said, all of the means of housing delivery, whether it is private, social or affordable, is inter-dependent. Making sure everything moves at the same time is important. There is an issue of viability and the higher densities in Fingal, particularly in the north county area, are difficult to make viable. We need to look at more innovative forms of delivering high densities, so that they are more viable. This uncertain period, which hopefully will pass, has the potential to delay some of these schemes as we move through the tender process.
