Vol. 193 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Preservation of Dublin Georgian Buildings.

36.

Mr. Ryan

asked the Minister for Local Government if in view of the widespread demand that the unity of eighteenth century architecture be preserved in Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin, he will amend the Dublin Town Plan so as to provide for the preservation of the eighteenth century buildings in that street.

I have no power under the Town and Regional Planning Acts to amend the Dublin planning scheme.

Mr. Ryan

Would the Minister indicate if any person or body has power to amend the existing Dublin planning scheme or to what extent the existing planning scheme is binding, if at all?

That is a separate question.

Mr. Ryan

It is impossible to get information from anybody as to what can be done about this scandal. The Minister ought to know.
