Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

The 150,000 target is not achievable in the long term. A realistic target for us is, in terms of direct construction, is perhaps about 2,000 houses per year. That would make us the largest single provider of housing. We can substantially contribute to the kind of target the 150,000 was trying to get at with our larger master-planning whereby we are enabling social housing and other providers.

On the membership of the new body in its new legal form, as the Deputy knows that is really a matter for the Minister in that under the Act he will be appointing new directors once the Public Appointments Service has done its business. I would certainly be in favour of increasing the expertise in both sustainability and urban design. We had the benefit of that kind of input in TII.

On exemplar designs, I will have to pass that over to Mr. Coleman. Before that, I am very much in favour, as I was in TII, of the concept of compact design and 15-minute cities. That is where we need to go with sustainability. People need to be able to live, work and have some of their recreation within a 15-minute cycle or walk. We must break the cycle of cars. Some of my predecessors in TII coined the phrase "getting people out of their cars" in the context of the Luas. It is as relevant today as it was back then.

Perhaps Mr. Coleman will update the committee on exemplar designs.
