I believe any homes that are built will be purchased but that opens up another question regarding mix and the delivery of homes, to which I will now turn.
I want to see a better mix of homes being delivered. I am working with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, on a further contribution the State can make in that regard. We cannot end up in a situation where all 8,000 planning permissions granted in quarter one will be for houses at the higher end of the price range because that will not meet the needs of the economy and our society.
