Could I ask Deputy Cian O'Callaghan to expand on his point on the need to have two meetings? Maybe I am coming from the perspective of the city, where pretty much everything is zoned at this stage. When talking about affordability and land use management, is the Deputy effectively talking about land in private ownership? Regarding the other schemes pertaining to lands in State ownership, particularly the serviced site scheme, the two topics are co-dependent. I would like them to be discussed together. We have seen what I am talking about at sites such as those on Oscar Traynor Road and O'Devaney Gardens. Could the Deputy help me to understand better why affordability and land use management should be separate? Is it because the lands are private?
