Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

It is the law of the land and there is no scope for interpretation. If Deputy McCormack is aware of any case where this provision has been misinterpreted he should please let us know. Part V applies to zoned land. If an estate of ten or 20 houses is being built in a village, it may well be that the land is not zoned.
