Yes. There is then the piece around engagement on the infrastructure. If we are going to build more houses, every development that gets built in Portlaoise now will face the same problems. It is a case of having all the systems working together or else there is no point in doing it.

We do not have many affordable schemes in County Laois. One started in Stradbally a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be very slow in coming to places like County Laois. I refer to housing that is affordable to purchase, so that families who are stuck in the middle can get a home. What are the plans for County Laois in that regard?
