My second question is that given that overzoning took place, particularly in some of the counties that surround Dublin, is there a risk with this amendment that with that amount of zoned land - and Deputy Matthews outlined how a lot of it is still zones where there was overzoning - it runs the risk of housing being built out in the further to reach areas first where costs are lower and not getting the kind of housing delivery that is needed in Dublin, for example, as a result? While I use that example of Dublin, it could apply to other cities or urban centres.
