There should be targets for growth that in turn justify the infrastructural investment that would lead to that growth. If there is a modest target for growth, then you do not justify it. I see that in Limerick all the time. When we try to deal with State agencies, they say there are no projections for a specified level of housing provision or infrastructural investment and that they are therefore not going to do what is asked of them. We have to have targets that justify infrastructural investment that will drive growth to where we want it and where we want the demand to be. That is not reflected in this document.
