Councillor Jim O’Leary, Cathaoirleach, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, said: 

“Public consultation is an essential part of the plan-making process, and I urge members of the public to come along to one of the drop-in days and also to make a submission to ensure their views feed into the future development of the Rathmichael area.” 

 Frank Curran, Chief Executive of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, notes:

This is an important stage of the plan-making process, which will ultimately support the sustainable development of new residential communities with supporting facilities in this area.”
