If I may come in on the specific point the Senator asked about, under Housing for All our Department is doing work with the Department of Transport in aligning planning with transport. We have first started with Dublin - that work is currently being concluded - and we will move to the other cities. On the specific point she raised, our Department is specifically working with the Department of Transport on aligning planning with transport. There is a body of work already done in Dublin. We will move to the other cities. That is under Housing for All. That is an integrated approach.
It is important to bear in mind, side-by-side with that, we have gone out in public consultation in examining what is viable. Making the densities on own-door as distinct from all being apartment is something we need to look at as well. It is about that integrated approach.
That specific body of work is under way between ourselves and the Department of Transport.
