I will come to the point Deputy Boyd Barrett was making in a second but this is an important point to make because local interests have tried to trump good planning, design and housing policy for years, and they have been successful. I said earlier that we need to be resolved as an Oireachtas that we, as politicians, will not get in the way of the densification of urban places. They are currently lovely places to live with lovely facilities and amenities but they could take more homes if we densify. Part of that relates to increasing heights.
