That isn't the big town.

It's just the local village.

But why...

Why is it wrong that I want to live in rural Ireland?

There's so many costs to absolutely everything.

I pay a fee when I want to open up the site here to build a house.

I pay extra costs in order to make sure that my home is in line with all the regulations and everything else.

I have to involve myself in the community to make sure that my local national school stays open and stays vibrant and in the local community garden, you know, for all the people that live in the area and to make the area a better thing.

It's not just the case of housing.

You are closing down communities when you start saying...

no more buildings.

Families cannot live in their home spaces.

I would just say there that

if there's fair planning.

I understand what David is saying about his view, but, you know, in order to balance your sustainability argument and rural Ireland, there has to be a little bit of give and take.

So if David is saying there's planning permission for six houses in front of him, maybe three of those houses, like if that's what his main concern there is,

a view personally for rural Ireland I'm more concerned about ensuring that the community keeps going that people with young families are able to come and live in the area and you know someone building a few houses in the area there is a lot of people that I know would be only too delighted that they're able to move back home I understand David

He moved from an urban setting to rural and what he has now, he dreads the thought of losing it.

But again, it's back to fair planning.

Well, this is it.
