Eamon Ryan: It is either that or I do my impression of Deputy Catherine Murphy. I am happy to debate this critical issue. We are coming back to it again and again, and rightly so, because it is very important.

Eamon Ryan: Yes, that is my first question. Will the Minister introduce a site value tax as recommended by the ESRI to stop the sprawl? Most economists come out with the need for a carbon tax.

We need to go beyond that with radical reinvestment or by changing our...

Eamon Ryan: I will take the Minister up on that. We should set up a scheme where communities could come to the Minister. My understanding of the national planning framework is that it should come from the bottom up. Communities could come to the Minister and ask him to use them as test case examples. We need to start being innovative and think differently, outside the box. We should not just think...

Eamon Ryan: I thank the Vice Chairman. The Minister said at the start that these sessions are designed to rattle a Minister. To be perfectly honest, I am rattled at this moment. I came in reasonably okay but I had to send an emergency text to my office looking for some headache pills. I am with Deputy Dooley. My head is full of images of boreens, buses, filing cabinets and hot desks.
