That is exactly the point. Deputy Ó Broin mentioned county managers and officials, but there is also a need to have a genuine and realistic conversation about what can be achieved on each site. There are many more people involved in this conversation. As I said, when a site becomes too complicated or challenging because there is disagreement, the conversation is often parked and nothing happens. Different people want different outcomes so it is probably a case of having evidence-based decision making on a site by site basis. We have had the conversation about doing more prototypes and blueprints for good quality designs and what can be achieved on sites. Having those decisions made in advance means no one must try to do the impossible because sometimes one ends up doing nothing in such cases.
