Mr. Noel Waters:
Yes, we are not using the agricultural value of the land. I will address the point about housing. The issue has been examined in the context of the housing situation, in particular, whether there would be a value or a use for the site in that context. That is a matter for other people. One concern we have, taking a whole-of-Government approach, is that it is a large site. We have learned lessons in Ireland about planning major housing developments in one particular area.
