What of the geographical spread? I keep stressing this point because the national framework plan is currently being devised. It will set out objectives in terms of infrastructure, housing and employment zones.
The previous spatial strategy got things wrong on a number of levels. In terms of her statistics, could Ms O'Donoghue speak about whether she has identified specific areas of deprivation or areas where rent supplement payments are higher? Could she point to statistics like that where the Department makes payments across the board?
