Mr. Terry Sheridan:

Deputy Higgins asked how many units have been delivered. I do not have that information to hand. However, I do have the number of units that have been commenced after being granted permission, which is 11,335 housing units, and 45,000 student bed spaces have been commenced. Many of those are on stream at present but we will come back to the Deputy as soon as we can on the actual number that have been delivered to date after being granted SHD permissions.

Her other question was on whether the "use it or lose it" provisions could be introduced prior to the termination of the SHD arrangements. That is something we can definitely consider. It would not necessarily be the case that it would have to await the termination of the SHD arrangements. If that were the case it would only apply to permissions granted subsequent to the enactment of the provision. We will have a look at whether that is possible.
