I agree with Mr. Taaffe. He and I worked on an SDZ in south Dublin. I think it is a good one but it took two years. Is there a way of taking that principle and accelerating it, maybe by not doing them on such a grand scale or having options? Landowners are being told there is nothing they can do for two years while there is a public consultation process. They have to engage and design and only then can they go for planning permission. The one thing SDZs have not done is accelerate delivery. I completely accept the point about the crash. Can we make SDZs more nimble?
