The Minister is aware that the Kilcarbery-Grange proposal from South Dublin County Council is a significant development and one that could do much to ease housing need, not just in Clondalkin and Lucan in my constituency, but across the county. The difficulty that many elected members on South Dublin County Council have is that, while there is be a proposed 30% social housing component in the development, which is welcome, 70% is proposed to be sold at open market prices. In that part of the city, those prices would be between €320,000 and €500,000. Will the Minister work with South Dublin County Council to try to ensure a level of affordability in the development?
