Mr. Colin Ryan:

While we are not here today to talk about that element, there is an issue with population in rural areas. Project Ireland 2040 has policies relating to aspects of rural regeneration. Ms Martin is correct when she referred to 1 million people having to go somewhere. A broad parameter within the programme is that these people, by and large, should move to urban areas because that is where the services and supports are. Those locations might well be in towns, villages and smaller settlements, which might be deemed to be more rural in nature. This is just a broader point.
