Well, good morning, Clare.

I think that some proposals should never be built on.

Some should be built on once the amenities and infrastructure are put in place.

So it's a two-pronged approach.

But just to look at the overall picture, we have 56,000 units worth of land already zoned for housing in South Dublin County.

And 12,600 of those have already been granted.

So this additional up to 9,000 houses, to me, is oversupply.

And what it's going to do, it's going to rezone land for housing.

And once it's zoned, it can never be de-zoned.

Otherwise, you're talking about compensation claims for developers.

The question is, are you actually going to build the lands that are already zoned?

And you have situations.

You mentioned, say, in Edmondsbury and the Liffey Valley, you

right beside a special amenity area, which should never have been even considered.

I do believe it's a Trojan horse and hopefully it will be voted down so certain councillors will be able to say, well, look, we did it in the zone St Ed's.

What it actually is, it's the entrance to the Liffey Valley going down, sloping down towards the River Liffey.

It's obviously, it's owned by the owners of the

complex where St.

Patrick's Hospital is currently located.

It's zoned amenity at the moment.
