That is great. I thank Mr. Kehoe for that.

On public engagement, one of the key reasons we were doing this consolidated plan arose from one of the suggestions to take the conflict away from the application stage and put the conflict, if there was to be any, at the plan-making stage. That way everybody is aware when the plan is made that this is how their area will develop or what they are likely to be looking at. Does Mr. Kelly see anything in this plan as set out that will have much greater involvement in the plan-making process to try to address that challenge?
