Ruairí Quinn
Question:204 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for the Environment the reason his Department have refused to sanction the construction of two infill houses by Dublin Corporation between 12 and 13 Weavers Street, The Coombe, Dublin 8 on the grounds of architectural correctness when the layout was considered by the residents, the Garda and the inner city committee to be facilitating anti-social activities in the area; if, in view of the increasing problems of the area, and having regard to the housing shortage he will now reconsider the situation and accede to the request, by the corporation to construct two infill houses which are clearly needed in the area; if he will now authorise Dublin Corporation to proceed to obtain tenders for this project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
