Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

I agree with that; it is just about trying to get the balance right. Planning restrictions and planning conditions still apply in all of these cities that we are referring to. Dublin and Limerick are examples of where the kind of development that local authorities will allow to happen on properties is quite limited because they want to preserve the architectural heritage of the buildings. That is the reason that, after consideration, I did decide that there could indeed be a role for developers in relation to it, and if somebody acquires a building that is currently vacant and this scheme plays a role, ultimately leading to a new home being built, then I think that is appropriate.
