Mr. John McCarthy:

-----but it is substantial. It is a critical part of maintaining life in the area through the day and evening rather than only during office hours, after which people exit the area. Ultimately, the development in the STZ is determined by the STZ planning scheme, and certainly that is framed on the basis of a mixed development with a very large quantum of residential development, as the Deputy outlined. My understanding is that there is already quite an amount of pre-planning engagement with Dublin City Council with a view to bringing forward development proposals of a mixed variety that will see something beyond purely office and commercial development in line with what the planning scheme sets out to achieve.
