The reality is that the NDP will be completed over the next week or two weeks and we will then finalise our housing plan. Realistically we are at the end of the Dáil term so we are looking at the autumn. If it is the national planning framework targets the Deputy is referring to, we will be issuing those in the next two weeks to local authorities. We have prepared a lot with the local authorities, giving them indications of the general direction of the output.
