Mr. Ryan
One of my functions under the Town and Regional Planning Acts is to decide appeals validly made to me against decisions of a planning authority and it was in exercise of that function that I gave the special permission in question.
Mr. Ryan
Will the Minister kindly answer the question, that is, why he granted special permission? Surely that is asking for the reasons. Will the Minister give the House the reasons?
Perhaps the Deputy would inquire why the Dublin Corporation felt constrained not to give it.
Mr. Ryan
Arising out of the Minister's further remarks, which are not in reply to either the principal question or the supplementary question, will the Minister kindly answer why he gave the special permission? Will he state the reason which urged him to make this decision?
I have already, in the first reply I gave to the Deputy, answered the question fully and completely.
Mr. Ryan
I must complain that the Minister has not yet answered the question. He does not want to answer it.
He has answered sufficient of the question to satisfy anybody in the House in regard to the matter about which I was asked.
Mr. Ryan
We shall ask the question in another form. The Minister will not get out of it.
