If Deputy Ó Broin gave me a moment in which to respond, it would be great.
On Deputy Bruton's question on the 25% metric, we believe the proportion will be significantly higher. Project Tosaigh will inject more numbers.
With regard to the local authorities, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, met representatives of all 31 local authorities, through the housing forum, to fast-track the delivery of key sites right across the country. I am aware that the LDA is working on several sites. From my engagement with the chief executive officer, I can confirm that phase 1 of several of these has been completed. Delivery timelines will be set out when planning permission is dealt with, which will be shortly.
