Six One News: John Kilraine, Dublin Correspondent, reports that builders have criticised plans designed to improve the standard of apartments in Dublin city
The plan, which would also more than halve the percentage of one-bedroom units allowed in each development, will now go for a four-week public consultation period.
The Construction Industry Federation has criticised the draft guidelines, saying they would drive development out of the city.
City council officials say the guidelines are needed to encourage more families to live in apartments.
Following a vote of approval yesterday evening the guidelines are due to come back before the city council in July for final approval.
