Dr. David Duffy:

As I have said, it is not six times every six weeks. I have mentioned that there was a view at the time that we were in a very serious housing crisis. That remains the view. It was estimated, from a household formation perspective, that 25,000 units would be completed each year, but completions were significantly less than that. My understanding was that PII was developing policies to increase supply. Some of these policies were mentioned in a radio interview. Subsequently, there was contact between the Department and PII. This was followed by meetings with the Minister at which all possible suggestions for increasing supply were covered. Our recommendations were in our policy documents, which are publicly available. Those documents were published at the time to feed into Rebuilding Ireland. All meetings were put on the lobbying register. In responding to the Deputy's question, I am going back to the records that are available. I have set out my understanding.
