I thank Mr. O'Leary for that clarification.

Deputy Cian O'Callaghan raised the evidence base for the provision of public services, childcare, etc. I am bothered by the references to proximity to public transport in many planning applications. The applications never have to state the frequency or likely modal share of a development's transport. Often, developments are advertised as being close to the M50, M3 or another road, meaning car dependency. Do we need to address this regarding the evidence provided in planning applications?
