Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. As we build more homes, which we need to do, it is really important that we do so in a way that makes services and facilities available for those who will live within them, including families. I am sure the Minister, Deputy Foley, will be giving this matter consideration. I will raise the issue with her and let her know the Deputy has made this suggestion. There may well be trade-offs that need to be considered with regard to the impact it might have on development within an area. However, the Deputy's suggestion sounds very sensible to me and I will make sure the Minister is aware of it.
