No. There are two issues. I specifically stated that. One is the residential zoned land tax; the other is the national planning policy to lands. Neither of them makes sense if we are trying to reduce the cost of housing in order to make it viable for commencement of current planning permissions.
By the way, going back to Mr. Hogan, I assume that the national guidelines he says are coming will have no bearing on the planning permissions we have that currently are not commenced. I assume that the Department has not made any other recommendation because Mr. Doyle does not even agree with what I am saying. He does not even see that what I am saying is logical.
