All Dublin City Councillors have united against the Planning Regulator in a row over dominating build-to-rent developments.
They have accused the Office of the Planning Regulator of being "undemocratic" after they refused to attend a DCC meeting to discuss the city's Development Plan.
Councillors, the Local Authority's Chief Executive and planners have been highly critical of the BTR developments which they say are "unsustainable" due to the high levels of planning applications across the city.
