John Ellis (Fianna Fail)

I am. We are all aware also that some development plans were crazy. I say this in the context of what was allowed to happen in residential areas where no provision was made for back-up facilities. That was the most serious crime committed during the years. We see articles in the newspapers every day about 1,000 houses being built with no provision being made for a community centre, schools and recreational facilities. Local authorities and planners were responsible for this because they decided they wanted to bang together as many people as possible per square mile.
