My understanding is that duplexes, as a definition back then, would not have been specifically specified. I got specific advice based on the amendments that were tabled by Deputies Duffy and O'Callaghan. The specific advice that I have, which we can reconfirm to the Deputy in writing, is that the Planning and Development Act, as amended, regarding the interpretation of house, does include apartment and, therefore, negates the need to stipulate apartment in an amendment. The Deputy can press his amendment or come back on Report Stage but I will supply him with additional information.
