Good. If we decide to double the population of Galway we must consider that in the last six years there have not been enough houses available to meet demand. Only 200 extra houses were added to the city of Galway and 500 houses in the county, strangely enough. That is total housing stock and we need 2,000, so there is literally not a house available in Galway for anybody. Dr. Hughes is probably aware that Galway also has tremendous traffic and transport issues.
