I absolutely take the Deputy's point and agree with her. However, I want to keep this as tight as possible. There are areas within the legislation around housing which would be notifiable. If there were sites close to sensitive security sites or sensitive State infrastructure, they would have to be notified. That is the type of provision it is. It is very related to sensitive infrastructure. Rather than expanding it, this comes back to the points raised about the burden of these regulations. I 100% get the Deputy on the housing issue. There are other instruments that can get us to where we need to be for our shared vision on housing but they are not within this Bill.
