I thank the Chair. I welcome especially the officials from Limerick City and County Council. I know most of them very well.

Some of my questions are directed to Dr. Daly but it does not really matter who answers. Under the heading of social housing delivery between 2018 and 2021, the council's submission refers to 3,256 social housing supports being delivered. I note 66% of them were either RAS or HAP tenancies. Under the heading of projected social housing delivery, a target of providing 2,693 homes by 2026 is given. The council states this is a build target only. Where are we going to build those houses? What lands do we have to build them on? I was not aware we had enough land to build on. Dr. Daly mentioned the LDA on which I have a specific question. I do not expect the officials from Limerick to know where every single house is going to be built but I have a concern about where the land for 2,693 homes is to be found. I assume this refers to the whole of County Limerick.
