The Department is saying two core things here. It is saying that it is a problem that we are doing all of our development in Dublin and yet, in this document, it is still putting three out of every five people who are going into cities into Dublin. That is what it is doing. The second thing that has not been addressed is the issue of compact growth. Again, the Department is putting half of the population outside of the five cities while still talking about compact growth as an objective.
