Ms Anderson touched on the standard of cost-rental accommodation. In Cork, it is of a very high quality and being managed properly. It is a place people want to live. I spoke to two young women who were sharing a property on Lancaster Quay. One worked in the hospital and the other worked in the city council. They were really positive about the accommodation. They spoke about a community being built in that development even though it had not been around for very long.

We will need a substantial increase in delivery. There are some excellent parts to the model. My main issues with it are delivery and cost. If should be made more affordable. Great work is being done, though.

Deputy Ó Broin will comment further.
