I have a last point. Oscar Traynor Road in Dublin is currently at planning. I do not expect the Minister to comment on a scheme at that stage, but should it be approved, I hope the Department and Dublin City Council work together closely to get on site and get building. I say that without prejudice to the planning process that is ongoing in that regard. We do not want to see any bureaucracy getting in the way of building those houses. The site lay idle for decades and decades until finally, thanks to Housing for All, we managed to get it up and running. It is important nothing gets in the way of the building of those homes, should they be given planning permission.
