I am very concerned about the 27,000 housing units. Ms Buckley said An Bord Pleanála had decided 6,000 in recent weeks. What is very concerning about that is that these were SHDs, is that not so? Clearly, we know that the new county development plans are in train. Many people involved in the sector know that. Developers were advised by members of An Bord Pleanála how they should make their applications - what should be contained and what they were eligible to put in it. Does Ms Buckley understand what I am saying? They would have sat down in tripartite meetings. Is that not correct?
