I will stick to the concept of specific projects. I appreciate that Ms Behan might not have all the details in front of her. These specific projects speak to broader points. I want to speak about the issues in Coultry in Ballymun. A cost-rental site was proposed as part of that. As a result of the viability issues with cost rental, it was decided that we need to provide an element of social housing as part of that overall project. You can see why an approved housing body would do that because there is far more certainty in terms of funding under the social housing model than there is under the cost-rental model. That is indicative of a problem. The reason it is important in Ballymun is that we are trying to improve the income mix and tenure mix in the area because of legacy issues there. That is not in any way to stigmatise social housing. The master plan and the local area plan, LAP, aim to increase both income and tenure mix in order to improve retail opportunities and lots of other elements. Will Ms Behan speak to that point? The project might have identified for cost rental, but in some ways the objectives have been undermined by ensuring it has to contain a social element.

The second one is across the way in Balbutcher Lane. It is Dublin City Council local authority housing on a beautiful, greenfield site. There was really slow delivery on that site. It is a council-delivered development for affordable purchase in its entirety. We have another great one that has come on site now in Silloge. It is great to see that coming on site. It will be affordable purchase and is going through the Part 8 process. It also took an awfully long time to deliver. Is there somebody managing each of these with the local authority to make sure approval methods are sped up?
