I thank Mr. Doyle. What is the average per unit cost of delivering social housing in 2023 compared to 2020 and what does Mr. Doyle feels are the primary cost drivers behind the increases? I understand there is obviously inflation in materials and labour, etc. but what is really driving this? Are regulations getting in the way of housing delivery?
