Dublin City Council recently published plans for the regeneration of the Pearse House flats, located just across the River Liffey from here. The Government has indicated its support, which is very welcome. The regeneration of Pearse House is a really important development but plans suggest that it could take 12 to 15 years. Will the Government fast-track funding for the scheme so that residents do not have to live on a building site for many years or possibly decades?

I thank the Deputy. I will have to ask the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to contact him directly on this issue. The Deputy will be as familiar as I am with the refurbishment of big housing schemes in Dublin city. The issues are not always just about money, particularly if the schemes are to be retained rather than being demolished or rebuilt. If they are listed or partially listed, the work can take years but I appreciate the Deputy's point.
