Ms ?ine Stapleton:

We can go through some of the sites very briefly. One thing to say by way of context is the legislative changes to the Part 8 planning process will hopefully allow for the planning process to proceed more speedily for some of these sites that are yet to go through planning. That should certainly help get them on site at an earlier point.

The first two the Deputy mentioned are on the affordable side - site 14 in Balbutcher and site 12 in Sillogue. I might let Ms Timmons come to those. On the PPP bundle, the site on Shangan Road is being supported by the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA. We are quite well advanced on the PPP bundle. That site will deliver 93 units, of which 73 will be for senior citizens. It will be a very good development. It will also deliver a new link road and landscaped open space. It is going to have a community facility as part of that development as well. I understand there have been significant consultations with local residents on the whole proposal. Part 8 was granted by Dublin City Council, as the Deputy knows, and planning approval has been secured for all the elements of the PPP bundle 3. It is helpful in terms of the tender notice having been issued. The programme is at the pre-qualification stage of procurement.
