One of the things with the census is that sometimes the entirety of a town is not taken into account because it is based on old boundaries. It certainly does not capture all the new greenfield developments and that can be an issue. It is tied to that. I understand it may be challenging to provide cost rentals because market rents are generally lower, but the level of rent being charged in many of those towns is catching up fairly quickly with Dublin because they are deemed to be within the commuter belt. If settlements with a population greater than 10,000 people are eligible, has the LDA looked at any of them? Are any of them under consideration at the moment? Is Kilkenny under consideration? Portlaoise actually has a bigger population than Kilkenny.
