Dr. Robert Kelly:
It is certainly the case that development finance for apartments is a different feature. With typical housing estates, you can build ten or 20 units and recycle the finance. The recycling rate in apartments is much lower. It could take a year or two years depending on the size of the scheme. That is how we saw more institutional investments supporting the construction of apartment blocks across Dublin.
