Mr. John McCarthy:

I expect that in the majority of cases, they will be progressed for council housing estates. Some larger sites might come forward for mixed tenure, with both public and private housing, in line with the policy objective under Rebuilding Ireland. The key objective is to use them for housing purposes and primarily for social housing purposes.
