Would it not be covered under No. 19: building design, universal design for disability and elderly, to include changing places, Covid learnings and safety building regulations, disability and elderly? We got a really good report at Dublin City Council last year and there is an increasing need because we are all living longer and living to be older but living fitter is another matter. There is an increasing desire from senior citizens to not be isolated in senior citizen-only accommodation but to be provided with age-appropriate and universally designed accommodation integrated into communities where there are different demographics. Would that not be covered under No. 19?
