The development of the wider street is a matter for Dublin City Council, where I believe Sinn Féin is the biggest party.

The shopping centre or mall that Deputy McDonald refers to is a matter for Dublin City Council and was subject to planning permission, and Sinn Féin had the opportunity to object to it.
