Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)

If, at the very same time that planning officials in South Dublin County Council are doing their development plan, and there is also a requirement under this section that "insofar as is practicable" they try to...
