Mr. Bob Jordan:
I agree with the Deputy that it is a very long time. The Housing Agency was the custodian of these lands. We do not develop the lands. We are reliant on local authorities and approved housing bodies to express a need for them. We meet with them, and we have done since the beginning of the scheme, on a quarterly basis to discuss these lands. We have also put out two calls for expressions of interest to the approved housing body sector. In recent years with the advent of the LDA certainly more than 1,400 units will be delivered in the coming years on sites there.
