We could put 20 houses in Rathdowney, however, that look the same as 40 houses in Mountmellick, which is a bigger town, that are the same as 60 houses in Portlaoise, which is a bigger town again, and nobody would object to that. The texture could be changed slightly, the cost and the architectural fees could be reduced, a lot of the nonsense, bureaucracy and back and forth could be cut out, and we could have good-quality design. That is what I am arguing for. I am not arguing for putting 3,000 houses in a huge area of one of the cities, or massive single-tenancy houses in a particular area. Of course, we should have affordable homes and a private mix as well. Does Mr. Doyle get the point I am making?
