Mr. John Coleman:

We have a very close relationship with the local authorities. It is very important to us on a number of fronts. We are essentially aligned with local authorities. They want housing delivered on their lands and so do we. We do not go through the four-stage process, which is where some of the efficiency comes from. The timelines for us working with a local authority would be the same as the timeframe in which anyone in the private sector would deliver a scheme for them. The funding decisions within the LDA are largely made within the four walls of the LDA, which helps matters as well. There are various efficiencies. We also have a standardised design which helps with the design process too. The typical timescale for a scheme of the scale of Shanganagh, for example, would be one year in design and consultation with the public, six to nine months in the planning process, about six months for procurement of the contractor and mobilisation of the building contractor and then two and a half to three years of construction. That is five to five and a half years without anything going wrong, like legal challenges along the way. That is the way we have worked with local authorities across the country. We have a number of schemes, including one that we just turned the sod with the Minister and started construction on a few weeks ago at St. Teresa's Gardens, of a similar scale to the Shanganagh scheme. The efficient and quick nature of the decision-making process that we go through is probably giving us an advantage. I will ask my colleague, Mr. O'Neill, to provide an update on Columb Barracks.
