Mr. Graham Doyle:
There has been a lot of public discussion about the housing activation office. One of the things this is very much about is coalescing all of the different measures State entities take to activate housing supply, whether with regard to energy, water or access roads. It is about becoming more interventionist than ever before to coalesce all of the State's activities on some of the key sites that will deliver large numbers of houses over the coming years. That is one piece.
On our interaction with Uisce Éireann, we have worked with it quite a lot with regard to its focus on and interaction with housing. It has put specific teams in place to work with developers and so on. There has been a lot of work on that. I could talk for longer but I do not want to use up the Deputy's time.
