I want to go back to the issue of water infrastructure. I assume the developer will have to fund this. The lack of clarity and detail is quite alarming. Will this then be passed on to putative buyers? Do developers actually have an appetite to fund this type of infrastructure?

On the conversation about apartments and densities, I am concerned. Are our housing densities making the housing crisis worse? I represent Limerick city. We do not have that level of demand for apartments. Is it realistic to expect apartment output to expand when we scale up to 50,000 or 60,000 a year?

I think Mr. O'Gorman mentioned cost rental earlier. There is a clear need to merge that with social rental. It is totally dysfunctional. It does not work. It is unaffordable. It pays lip service to the concept. If it was merged with social rental, would we then be able to deliver the thousands a year we need?
