Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

No, I am talking about the development itself - the bigger one. That has yet to go through planning but it has been on the agenda for about two decades. That is a problem that speaks more to the dereliction question. When a big project is mooted and is in the works, very little happens until it gets realised. I see that in parts of Cork at the moment as well in terms of people waiting for certain developments to take place before they will invest. That is one issue, but I have no difficulty with the fundamental principle of rebalancing the rights under the Derelict Sites Act in respect of the common good.
