Mr. Frank O'Connor:

We see it in Cork first hand where things are supposed to be conserved. You can have a street or a terrace where you live that is 200 years old and is not protected but is intact and we love it, while across the road is an ACA and they have demolished it all. We are with the Senator on the one-stop-shop.

I will make one final point. We are doing up our house very slowly in parallel and we found exactly what the Senator was saying. The skills are not there. I have had to learn myself how to do things like how to work with lime on a building that is 200 years old, as has Ms Sherry. It is amazing but it is slow. The points the Senator is making are important. Regarding well-being, our vitality and our sense of place, it is the heritage that brings all these things together.
