I mean, they were not built the way they would be now.

And if you were to allow houses, which is what the government are talking about, newer houses to be built, those septic tanks would be built under the current regulations and the current inspection framework and everything.

You wouldn't have a repeat of the past.

Let him answer the question there.

Go on.

So, Sean, it's not like, let's move everyone to Galway or Limerick or Dublin.

It's rather, let's zone land around Killala.

So you're not necessarily building a one-off house in Lackin.

You move a couple of kilometres down the road outside Killala, you're building 70 or 80 houses and there's a school and a post office.

But what, Teresa, what about the argument that the compromise, and that's not the language Sean used, but, you know, that's what I'm saying.

The compromise would be that instead of building the one-off house in Lackin, you don't even have to go as far as Killala.

You know, you go down to Ballycastle or somewhere where there is a kind of a, you know, a pub and a shop or whatever and national school.

You concentrate the houses on,

in those rural areas so that you can concentrate services and everything becomes easier to run and cheaper to run and more efficient to run.

But you're still, you're living in rural Ireland still and still really in your local area.

David is on the line.

David, do you think we should, well when I say we, I mean the government should relax rules around planning in rural areas?

So moving to a rural area is okay for you, but nobody else?

What about the person who lives in Dublin and stood in the field next year and fell in love just as much as you did?
