Why is that the case? Call me old fashioned but there is the issue of regeneration. My dad still lives in Knocknaheeny and I live down the road. We are putting millions, if not hundreds of millions, of euro into regenerating areas. We know what the solutions are. One of the issues is that, as we build housing, we must put the infrastructure in at the same time, if not before. Is it the Department or is it the Minister? Where is the blockage? What Ms Cormican is saying to me makes perfect sense and I have lived that. Who is blocking it?
