To ask the Manager in light of the decision by Dublin City Council to vary their County Development Plan so as to radically increase the permissible size of apartments within the city area, and also to improve the quality and standard of such apartments, if the Manager now believes that a similar amendment to the Development Plan of South Dublin County Council is now required, so as to improve the general quality and standard of apartments in South Dublin County Council’s administrative area, and if he will make a statement on the matter?
