Will the Government review the Adamstown and Clonburris strategic development zone plans? The last Adamstown review was 12 years ago. There is a major issue arising now due to insufficient carparking spaces. Planning permission has been granted on the basis of 1 to 1.25 spaces per unit but we now have one development near the train station, The Sidings, where there are no parking spaces provided whatever. There are growing families, workers with vans renting houses together and insufficient childcare facilities and a lack of public transport. It is not a panacea. People need to be able to drive but they also need to be able to park their vehicles. They are parking on bus lanes and footpaths all over the place. It is a total mess and there are ongoing complaints. By all means restrict car use, but not car ownership. The same problem arises in Clonburris but there is also woefully inadequate provision for services tied into the plan. There is only one full-size GAA or rugby pitch. It is a recipe for disaster, with 20,000 people living in the area. Adamstown needs a limited statutory review order, while Clonburris will need to be looked at in the next five years. Will the Taoiseach consider this?

The Deputy has raised fairly legitimate issues. There has been a tendency in planning lately to have no car parking spaces in certain developments. The Deputy made a fair point about restricting car use but not car ownership. There has to be more flexibility in the planning frameworks governing developments of this kind and, as the Deputy said, the Adamstown plan. I would like to see a complete review. You would lose another couple of years with that but the points the Deputy is making should be fed into the process and a bit of common sense and flexibility should be applied.
