Mr. John O'Connor:

On the very large amount of land in Cork County Council, including the Dripsey site, we engage with the local authorities regularly on this land. We go through the sites it is developing and then we ask about the ones for which there are not plans at the moment. We ask the council if there is potential for the sites to be developed. It is a question of when the local authority considers it suitable for development.
