Ms Mary Rose Burke:

We would be in violent agreement. We do not want anybody living in poor quality housing. This is part of the problem we are trying to highlight, that we need proper planning, proper standards, proper quality and high density. Equally, this is not a question of forcing people to live anywhere but of respecting and reflecting the choices people are making. This is not just in Dublin. Cities all over the world are dealing with this global trend towards urbanisation. People are choosing to live in cities because of their quality of life and social and cultural aspects. Instead of fighting a trend, we need to recognise the trend and build to support it.
