I note that. It is my understanding the Attorney General's advice is not published. How it would end up in the public arena is a matter for the Office of the Attorney General to investigate.
Deputy Ó Broin said this may be related to a decision that was made in Wicklow. For the record - this is a publicly available document - it is my understanding that the decision in Wicklow was not based solely on core strategy, population targets or housing strategy. It is and remains a peripheral greenfield site and is not contiguous to the built-up footprint. That matter was raised by the planners. Even if this amendment were to end up in its current form, that would not be a sole reason for refusal. People should not get confused about that.
