Ms Maria Graham:

The simplification of the legislation is one of the key things. Some of the things are not based on legislation but I will refer to the whole concept of accessibility. We talked about development plans being shorter. People access things in different ways. Some people like pictures and maps. Others are happy with the written word. We have to make sure that people can engage with plans in a way that is accessible to them and in the form they want. The points the Senator made about infrastructure are really important. Today, we attended a meeting of the Project Ireland 2040 delivery board, which is involved in knitting in the national planning framework and the national development plan at the national level. Mr. Hogan and the team have been doing some work aimed at bringing that to city level. I may ask him to speak a bit about that and also about the education side.
