asked the Minister for Local Government if he is in favour of proposals to increase the level of differential rents in the city of Dublin.

The proposal of the Dublin Corporation in this matter has just been received in my Department and is being examined.

Is the Minister aware that that policy has been decided by Dublin Corporation and that, in fact, at a meeting last Monday, all the members of the Fine Gael Party voted for the increase and none voted against?

Thanks for that information.
