St. Michael's Estate can be a practical scheme in the context of the cost-rental model and building public housing on public lands. It will be up to the city council and it has already discussed that there should be a pilot scheme on this site. It is an amazing proposal that the regeneration team is putting forward and I believe the Minister should take it on board. Although I know the Minister has said he will meet the team next week, he should then come back to the Dáil to say whether he will let it lead this model.
