Mr. David Moloney:

The Deputy mentioned the common design templates that the Department has developed for local authority housing. I think they will help with the exact issue he has raised. The introduction of modular construction is another thing that will help. To do modular construction properly we need scales. We need a certain amount of common design. We fully support that, and are involved in the roll-out and delivery of modern means of construction.
