We were told Athlone, Mullingar and Tullamore were places that would grow but Portlaoise grew rapidly. Some projections do not take into account economic gravity or increasing birth rates. Many people provide figures for local and regional development plans that they know are wholly unrealistic on the day they provide them. I am afraid those figures will come back and bite some people some day if the board takes a strict line on the matter.
