I appreciate that but I know of cases in my constituency in Cork where people have gone in, got planning and sold the project on. There are projects in my constituency that have received planning, have been sold on and still have not been built. We need to get those properties developed. We need to get those houses and apartments developed. I thank Mr. O'Connell for his contribution.

There are three projects in Cork that have availed of the local infrastructure housing activation fund, LIHAF. It was originally announced that the LIHAF would deliver 21,000 homes by 2021 but the Minister confirmed to me in a parliamentary question that by the end of 2022, only 5,386 homes had been delivered. Similarly, the Croí Cónaithe cities scheme aimed to activate 5,000 apartments. Has there been interest in this? Will these targets be delivered? These were incentives to get the infrastructure put in and get land that was zoned built but from what I have seen out of projected figures that has not happened, or it certainly has not happened to the scale the Minister said it would. Have IPAV and CIF a comment on that?
