I thank the Minister for his engagement and proactive approach to the issue. I encourage the local authorities and county councils that have published these maps to engage with the landowners and ensure they do not go down a route where appeals will have to be made to An Bord Pleanála. That would be the last resort. I welcome the tax measure. It is an important component of the pathway towards increasing our housing supply. Activating zoned land is hugely important. Only one sixth of land zoned residential is activated. This will be an important mechanism going forward.
