I am not so aware. I understand, however, that the Department of Posts and Telegraphs have provided a wall between their area engineering headquarters building and that portion of the scheme adjoining it. I further understand that, on the instructions of Dublin Corporation, the National Building Agency are providing, as part of the contract for the housing scheme, a four foot chain link fence between the remainder of the scheme and the adjoining open land held by the Department of Posts and Telegraphs for future development.
