I am not going to waste time on this because we have had these debates over and over. The section relates to the obligation to prepare housing development strategies where a planning authority's functional areas comprise solely a city. Section 45(3)(d) refers to the "identification of existing capacity, and planned investment in capacity, in transport (including, in particular, transport infrastructure), community facilities, water services, utility infrastructure and any other necessary public infrastructural facilities and services". Given that, for example, community facilities are mentioned, the proposition is to include Irish language facilities thereafter.
