Ms Caroline Timmons:

Yes, I take Deputy Ó Broin's point that it is his view of what is happening but I do not think that is what is intended at all. I think some of the parcels that came forward to the LDA under the first expressions of interest, EOI, may have resulted in developments that were under the 150 mark coming forward. It is important that it has brought forward cost rental in that respect. Going forward, we want the LDA to target higher numbers of delivery. Under the second EOI we were specific about needing to co-operate with the local authorities and not to have competition going on in the sector. We are acutely aware of that. Going forward, the high level of affordable delivery co-ordination across AHBs, the LDA and the local authorities has been very important to us. I understand Deputy Ó Broin's point that he feels the LDA is not getting houses out of the ground and the projects that we wanted but, in fact, we can see units coming forward in the pipeline it has for the year that would not have commenced otherwise. I am happy that it is trying to fulfil that objective at this point.
