We have commenced that discussion and will continue it in conjunction with my Government colleagues. The strategic investment bank will be able to lend to builders, there is extant planning permission for a large number of units throughout the country but particularly in the greater Dublin area, including County Kildare, I hope.

We want to see the construction industry up and running. Part V should have delivered a lot of units during the building boom as well but it did not. It delivered a very small percentage of units in comparison with the number built.
