Yes. From the bit of research I have done there was a knowledge vacuum in this space and it is about bringing people up to a level where they can be confident they will not get sued, effectively.

I have a final question for Mr. Stevens. It is very good to see him in this forum and from working with him over the years, I believe his insight and knowledge about housing design is second to none. Considering that in the past we designed urban realms where low-rise, high-density communities were created, giving 50-plus units to the acre, examples of which are Stoneybatter and Portobello, what type of regulations are now required to allow this low-rise, high-density housing in Ireland again because we are sitting quite below that?
