I thank Mr. Taaffe for that. I appreciate it is a sensitive issue and that a CPO is not issued lightly. I foresee compulsory purchases only in the case of land that is zoned and has possibly progressed along but that has just not been activated. That is the land that needs to be examined.

I have a couple of questions on modern methods of construction. What needs to happen for these to be a greater feature in housing supply?
