I will respond to Deputy McAuliffe's point as someone from Knocknaheeny where the houses were built 20% smaller with substandard material. Hundreds of millions of euro are now being spent to regenerate the area because the planning was not done originally. They did not build parks, playgrounds or schools. It was probably the only constituency in Ireland where a church was not built. The first thing that went in anywhere in the country was the church. Knocknaheeny was so badly designed, planned and resourced that there was nothing there. We are actually knocking it down and destroying the community now because of bad planning and decision-making. I hear what Deputy McAuliffe is saying but we need the bells and whistles and the playgrounds.
