Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I cannot talk about an individual planning application which is under review but we should not rush to judgment on the basis of one planning application. The Deputy might have raised this last Thursday but I talked about these guidelines a year and half ago, and they were welcomed then because they have been successful in other cities for some people who want that choice, and this is about bringing choice to everyone. Too many people in the country at the moment do not have a choice when it comes to a housing solution and that is what we are trying to fix.
