I apologise for cutting across. They are saying a huge tranche of land should be looked at in the context of being there for future residential development. In my contribution earlier, I said that does not take account of the likes of, for example, protected structures or ecological factors. It is not site specific and does not look at whether that site is serviced from ESB and water perspectives. All of that comes through the planning application. I just feared that particular statement simplified quite a complex process.
