Perfect.

If I may move on to Waterford in respect of affordable housing. It is very significant that the first schemes are advertised at the moment, with 117 units open for application. There are advantages and disadvantages to being first up in a process. I wish to tease out some of the issues the local authorities have encountered heretofore and how they have been overcome. Then, specifically, there are the ongoing challenges in delivering schemes outside of Waterford city, in areas such as Dungarvan and Tramore, significant population growth centres, and particularly in coastal communities. That is a challenge right around the coast of our country, where there are significant cost pressures. I refer to a comparable product on which to be able to base a discount in those areas. Perhaps the witnesses could respond to those comments in the time I have left.
