Mr. Colin Ryan:

This relates to new development. Broadly speaking, what we are talking about here is restricting new development. If it is an established use, it has rights that cannot be taken away.

I take the Chairman's broad point about urban environments. There are different levels. This might involve making intensive use of existing facilities and re-doing them, as is being done with Mountjoy Square. The other issue concerns links, getting people to these locations safely, be it by walking or cycling, and looking at those links to encourage people to access what exists. I take the point that Dublin city centre is not awash with open space.
