Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
-----in light of what was happening. Otherwise, I cannot remember one in the past number of months. We can certainly clarify that.
On the broader point on infrastructure and why infrastructure is built, particularly with the growth of onshore wind solar projects, given the needs on the demand side around new businesses, homes, farms, etc., there is a need for investment on both of those tracks. To look at what is being invested in, particularly in the west in the early stages of wind development onshore in Ireland, significant infrastructure has been built to support our journey towards net-zero in Ireland. We are harnessing that renewable resource in many places from County Donegal down to County Kerry. A big part of the infrastructure that has been built has been around that, as well as supporting industrial development and transmission that will support the distribution network for housing and businesses.
