Mr. Conor O'Connell:

I will give the Chairman a straightforward example. All the local authority development plans are under review, and the population of Ireland and the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, projections that are being used to zone the quantum of land that is needed for that population growth are inaccurate. We are not zoning enough land for the population growth that we have experienced and will be experiencing. After census 2022, the Minister is committed to reviewing the NPF and the population growth targets. We are not zoning enough land in these development plans and that constrains the supply of land. We know there is a serious problem with the servicing of zoned land as it is in this country. We are constraining the supply of a raw material into the house building sector, which increases the price point of that raw material.
