I will take five minutes at most. I welcome the Minister. I welcome the significant increase in the number of houses, start-ups and so on in my constituency. That very visible increase is a reflection on the Minister, the Department and, obviously, the more focused thinking that has been employed. However, I ask the Minister to address certain areas that require further consideration. Much of our towns is no longer needed as retail space because of a change in retail patterns such as people buying online and so on. Some retail units in Drogheda and, I am sure, elsewhere in the country will no longer be used as such. Is there a plan to analyse that obvious shift in usage and to fast-track change of use?
