I thank Deputy Ó Broin. It is just me and Senator Cummins to go.
We are talking about a concept whereby the State or an entity like HISCo supplies the infrastructure to the site. If the argument is then that we should zone much more land, do those things not counter each other? Which land would we decide to prioritise? If professional planners, with input from all the agencies, determine this is enough land at the densities we require and that is where we concentrate the delivery of the services, does that not counter the suggestion we should zone more land?
