Kildare Village seeks removal of 'out-dated' planning conditions limiting sale to discounted goods only

The submission argues that the current restriction allowing stores to sell only end-of-season discounted goods is too restrictive and out-dated with RMLA stating that a significant portion of the brand products sold at Kildare Village are not subject to seasons.
