I thank Mr. Cummins for his opening statement. Some of the witnesses have been here before and as this is our final meeting, issues that have arisen over a number of weeks during our deliberations and consultations with others have prompted further questions around areas relating to local authorities, land banks, the planning process, the delivery between the Department and the various local authorities. While some of these issues have been addressed in the opening statement, I am sure a number of colleagues will want to probe them in more detail. To the colleagues who have questions, I wish to state that in addition to the CCMA, which was here previously, representatives from each of the four Dublin local authorities are at this meeting. A number of people have indicated and I will take a couple of them together. If the questions are general, they can be general and if members wish to direct them to somebody specific, they should identify who that person is. I call on Deputy O'Dowd.
