As we speak, the Minister for Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Simon Coveney, is meeting councillors from Dublin City Council on the issue of the Poolbeg strategic development zone, SDZ, which is a huge site that is very important to the development of housing in this city.

And related matters.

The city manager said last week that it is clear there could not be anything more than 10% social housing on the site because that was the legislative limit set. Is it considering or how would the Government introduce a raising of that legislative limit for other sites also but particularly for this SDZ site on which it is vital we have social housing in an area where the likes of Google, Facebook and other companies are buying up all the housing, making it impossible for local people to get a house? What provisions does the Taoiseach have to change the legislation to allow for a higher social housing limit in the Poolbeg SDZ?

I am sure this is a matter for discussion between the local authority and the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. The question the Deputy has raised has not come before the Government for a decision because I assume the local authority, in the first instance, has its responsibilities and may decide to engage with the Minister with responsibility for housing in respect of the SDZ and what that limit is. I will have the fact of that matter checked for Deputy Ryan and revert to him on it.
