It does, but it leads to a further question. When we talk about infrastructure in development we talk about the hard infrastructure - the pipes in and the pipes out. Irish Water is able to say whether there is not enough capacity in the drinking water supply or the wastewater treatment system is at capacity but it is a little bit of a grey area to define a deficiency in public transport. One often hears a place being advertised as "close to public transport". It could be a meandering bus that comes once an hour. I just wonder how we define "deficiency" in public transport. There was a case in this regard but did it clarify it?
