Mr. Nick Killian:

Yes. The decision that was made by An Bord Pleanála was to have two tower blocks of 50 apartments on an outer relief road in a rural area. That just does not make sense. They will never be built but they are still in the figures. They are in the core strategies and so on. They are curtailing the building of houses or at least duplex-type buildings, which is what the customer wants. I do not think there is any correlation between what the customer wants and what An Bord Pleanála envisages as good planning. I fully agree that it is great to have a density of 35 units per hectare, or whatever it is, in the middle of a town but not in a rural area. That applies right around the country. That is happening but, whether we like it or not, it is stopping houses being built at the present time.
