I am not being awkward with Deputy Connolly. I understood her question to specifically relate to Part V housing. She referred to the Urban Regeneration and Housing Acts. I apologise that I do not have the exact figures the Deputy has requested but I have answered the question she asked.

On other social housing, on the construction front Galway City Council currently have two local authority construction projects in the pipeline to deliver 69 units at a cost of some €16.3 million. There are two phases of one overall development at Ballymoneen Road and these are currently under construction. The other 55 units are at the design stage and will hopefully go on site at the end of this year or in early 2018. There are eight other AHB projects in the pipeline in Galway city. Two of these, involving 18 units, have now been completed. The remaining six, involving 47 units, are at various stages of development. On phase two of the Ballymoneen Road scheme which I referred to earlier there will be at least 55 units. A design team will soon be put in place to ensure that we get the maximum use of that site as well. There are other possibilities there as well.
