Shock Kilmardinny Decision

10th March 2009

An Bord Pleanála have given permission for the development of 48 apartments, 5 retail/office units, a training centre, a restaurant and a pub with an associated beer garden on the site of the Kilmardinny. The buildings will be up to four storeys in height.

This decision comes after years of campaigning by the local community against this development. It is particularly disappointing that An Bord Pleanála should back this proposal after Dublin City Council refused planning permission, and the board’s own inspector considered the proposal to be poor quality.
