I thank Deputy Ó Broin. I will take the next slot.

I suppose it is important to note that no house gets built or lived in without these three guys coming together and that is why we want the three of them in the room here. The planning system is the magnet that draws them all together. We zone a lot of land and say that it is suitable for development. The difficulty seems to be in how are we getting the water and power to that site before the construction industry can start its work.

I will leave the regional and national stuff for the moment because it is on a much higher level. When forward planning takes place in a local authority, does it overlay the map with the water network or with the ESB network to help inform some of those decisions. Does that happen in forward planning?
