I have two questions on which I want further detail. One of the exemptions noted in the explanatory memorandum is "...land which is zoned for residential use but is used to provide services consistent with a residential area, e.g. a corner shop". If the Minister knows Galway city, I am sure he will be aware that we are plagued with vacant sites and have been for a long time. Thankfully, we are now seeing movement on one of the biggest of those sites and that is good news. Will that particular exemption only apply to a fixed premises? There are mobile coffee vans popping up everywhere at the moment. I ask the Minister for some detail on that.
