I am happy to get that for the committee. I will get the number of unactioned planning permissions and the amount of zoned land across the country. Across Dublin, it is about 44,000 but I do not have the figure for where existing planning permission where there is no works ongoing or have not commenced. I do not have the figure for the wider country off the top of my head but I will certainly get it, and the amount of zoned land across the country. I will get that sent to the committee.

The national planning framework has been through a significant process over the past number of years. It has identified a need for additional zoning to build more homes. We do need more zoning to ensure there is competition in the market as well to get homes built. There is a residential zoned land tax to target those who are land hoarding in relation to the delivery of homes as well.
