Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

-----but we also know that rents for a two-bedroom unit will be €1,520 and that those for a three-bedroom unit will be €1,700. That is the single highest cost rent for a three-bedroom or a two-bedroom unit delivered to date.
I also understand that Dublin City Council has signed the contracts with Tuath and Clúid for the cost rentals in O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road. While the one-bedroom units will come in very similar to those in Shanganagh, the two-bedroom units will be more expensive, in excess of €1,600 a month. The three-bedroom units in O'Devaney Gardens will reach €1,900 a month. The Minister knows this information. He could have put it into the public domain. I suspect he would prefer if it does not go into the public domain until after the election, because not only are these rents now substantially higher than rents for existing renters in the private rental sector, but they are nowhere close to affordable.
I will give the Minister a second opportunity. Why does he not just tell us what the rents in Oscar Traynor Road and O'Devaney Gardens are going to be?
