Mr. Mick Mulhern:

On the housing delivery side,we have a projected housing pipeline of just over 17,000 homes over the next seven years.

This comprises about 11,600 on Dublin City Council-owned sites. In addition, we have 4,400 AHB schemes projected for delivery in the coming two and a half years. We do not have a line of sight beyond that. The figure of 17,000 comprises Dublin City Council housing of 11,500 and the next two and a half years of projected AHB schemes in respect of which we have certainty. This figure will increase. We are working with the Department on the various other mechanisms we need to bring into play to increase the target further once we get clarity on what our increased social and affordable housing targets will be.
