Does Ms Hurley not think local authorities should be planning ahead in the sense of coming forward with projects, especially in rural villages? We have had people move to cities and other urban areas, but there is now a move back again. Should we be far more proactive about this? Many more people can now work remotely. I meet people on the train regularly who do two days in Dublin and three out in the middle of nowhere because they have got an Internet connection. Should we be doing a lot more in this whole area?
