While it is the case that the formal procurement was the responsibility of the DRHE, the real issue here is the policy context in which it was set. That is why one of the really positive things we have heard today is an end to deficit funding, but I also think the fact that we are now looking at the possibility of moving away from the competitive tendering model that we have is very important. Do we have any indication of when the tender for the large lot of Dublin housing first will open, if it has not opened already, and when it will close? Until we have that tender in place, my understanding is that no new housing first tenancies can start. Is it possible to get a timeline for that?
