Mr. Coilín O'Reilly:

A good example, which is in our submission, is Dublin Street and Cox's Lane. There were two old three-storey shops with two storeys of residential above. We purchased both units. We turned the two old shops into six one-bed units for single people and in the back yard we built six two-bed terraced houses, like the Deputy was suggesting. There are good pictures and examples of how we did that. It can be done but it is complex. Even with the hotel project, I am sitting here thinking I am glad it is not me who has to do something with that hotel because you are not starting from scratch but with something imperfect that you are trying to bring back to standard and then to A or A2 rating. We were lucky in our project that we got it to an A2.
