Dublin buildings height-restriction proposal to be heard tonight

A new height restriction that would see new buildings in Dublin capped at four stories is being proposed at a Council meeting this evening.

However the Construction Industry Federation has warned that the restriction would act as a disincentive to multinationals seeking to set up here.

The CIF's Martin Whelan said reducing height beyond what is already catered for in the existing development plan "will be a problem and should be avoided".
