How does Mr. Kenny feel about the developer-led infrastructure discussion? I always use local examples because it is easier for me. In the local area plan of 2017 for Celbridge, there was a proposal to build 2,000 houses in Simmonstown. To do so, we need to build a bridge. Eight years later, the compulsory purchase order for the land has only gone in. The bridge will be State funded and the cost of the rest of the mobility corridor will be met by developers. Ultimately, will the cost of the development be reflected in the prices of the houses themselves?
