Mr. Barrett
The original submission to the Department in September, 1962, was found to be legally defective. Accordingly it was necessary for the corporation to recommence proceedings and these were received in February, 1963. My decision refusing consent, on legal grounds, to the proposed compulsory acquisition of the site was conveyed to the local authority on 24th May, 1965.
