asked the Minister for Local Government if it is true (a) that the Dublin Corporation refused special permission to erect a petrol filling station at 87/89 Old Cabra Road, Dublin, on the ground, inter alia, that it would be a hazard to traffic, and (b) that, on appeal, this decision was reversed and permission given by him by order dated 9th October 1961; and, if so, if he will state, in view of the number of service stations in the area and the hazard to traffic of another, why he reversed the decision of the planning authority.
