We all know that the delivery of a significant proportion of social and affordable houses is dependent on the delivery of the private construction sector and the knock-on of the Part Vs, which I think Mr. McLoughlin mentioned earlier. It is hard to quantify that. Any slowdown in delivery of housing is going to have an impact on our Part Vs.

Looking at Clonburris, it has huge potential as an SDZ. There is a similar SDZ is Cherrywood but it is nothing like this. Will Mr. McLoughlin speak about the maximum capacity in terms of houses for an SDZ? There are varying numbers from 7,500 up to 11,000 houses maximum. What is the potential for housing across all delivery models? Mr. McLoughlin mentioned the appropriate mix of tenure earlier. He explained the 40:30:30 model. That is good. Will he comment on affordable price points in Clonburris?
