I know the preponderance of demand is in the city but there are real constraints along the coast, as the witnesses identified in their opening statement. Tramore and Dungarvan are the bigger population centres. I see there are only plans for nine social homes to be delivered for Dunmore East in the council's future programme master summary. It is similar for Ardmore. Are we confident that we will be able to meet demand? I know there are constraints with land ownership in Tramore.

There is significant demand for social housing within those towns.
