Mr. Barry Kehoe:

-----that we were to prepare to vary our county development and city development plans to provide for additional zoning. We were also told that the housing requirement for each county would be notified to us soon. We have not got that follow-up letter to give us the housing requirements yet. That is a big problem. In my own area of Kildare, people were looking for a pre-planning meeting but the council said it had already gone over its target so it could not authorise it, because the council had not been given the updated housing targets. I am not surprised to hear this and I am sure this is the case in many of the faster-growing areas around the country. It is probably not such an issue in the slower-growing areas.
