Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

We bought into co-ordination long ago. There are good relationships between all of the Dublin authorities. Not only with them but also with the LDA and others in order to ensure we are delivering for Dublin. Housing delivery comes down to the site at the end of the day. The key point is that local assessments will have to done no matter who is delivering the site. As I stated earlier, the Part A process is an efficient planning tool. I would be reluctant to lose that because it is helpful at local authority level. Co-ordination is absolutely key but I doubt it would change things if it were done through an office.
