I will follow on from the line of questioning by Deputies O'Callaghan and Ó Broin in terms of the principle of rezoning and dezoning. It is very rarely that we see land dezoned and for any of us who has ever sat through county development plan meetings, it is quite common to see land rezoned against all recommendations. I include the land tax in this as well but does the CCMA think this may serve as a way of - for good reasons - stopping over-zoning of land and those zonings that we see being done because councillors may have the numbers to vote them through and the OPR does not always catch it?
