Ms Caroline Curley:

We did a pilot in Mungret Gate that included houses as well as apartments. We are now looking at the lessons learned from that. We have two sites, Speaker's Corner and Thomondgate, one of which is going to Part 8 and another straight to An Bord Pleanála, where we have a mix of affordable, private downsizing and social housing. It is to be hoped they will also come on stream. They are future projects. We believe it is the right thing to do and is the right mix. That is why we hope to progress those sites - so far, so good. We have learned from private downsizing that, as a nation, we are still not into apartments. Some of it is to do with animals and people keeping their little dog or whatever in the house. People also want back gardens or a little front garden. A two-bedroom own-door house with a little back garden is preferable for them. It is about trying to get the mix right and making it attractive for people.
