I am aware of that. Thank you.

I have made my point on that and I look forward to an exchange on that issue on Committee Stage. I was very taken with the last piece of the Minister of State's speech last night:

The regeneration of the area will lead to a more appealing cityscape, a more pleasant living space and increased prosperity for all. Within the context of the Dublin city development plan, it will play a pivotal role in the improving economic position for the capital and the country as a whole.

That is a very ambitious set of objectives. I share those and support the Minister of State in pursuing them. However, if he is serious about them, he will not just listen to but take on board the points I have raised and he will revisit this legislation and work with us on these benches to ensure the legislation is fit for purpose and fit to deliver those worthy ambitions.
