Mr. Anthony Flynn:

Thank you, a Chathaoirligh. Dublin City Council is clear on the need to prioritise housing delivery at scale. Accordingly, we have redirected resources towards projects that deliver the highest volume of homes. We have looked at a strategic change in the context of how we are structured. The housing department is looking at large-scale housing delivery over the next number of years. The planning, property and economic development department has taken on the undertaking of tackling urban vacancy and dereliction. Over the past nine months, we have worked with a cross-party subgroup of elected members of the city council to come up with a strategic policy that reflects what we would like to do over the next number of years. We have circulated that report, which is groundbreaking in the context of how Dublin city will deal with urban vacancy and dereliction over the next number of years. There is a serious number of recommendations within the report, the main one being the question of whether we recognise the scale. The answer to that is, "Yes, we do". Are we looking at a new way of doing it? Yes, because there has to be a new way. It must be done by way of a special purpose vehicle.
