I thank Deputy Bruton for his question. On the LDA, a significant number of homes has been targeted. There is currently staging under way in Dundrum, Hacketstown, Skerries, Castlelands, Balbriggan and Cherry Orchard. Negotiations regarding other sites in Dublin are due to be completed shortly. I understand phase 1 has been completed. A majority of the houses will be affordable. It is key to deliver those for our citizens.

With regard to the scale in some areas, almost 600 homes have full planning permission in Shanganagh. That will represent a significant injection for the local community. The LDA currently has €3.5 billion available to it to deliver on its aspirations.
