      I used to work in Tesco Merrion years ago. Some very nice people in that part of Dublin. But Jesus a sub-set of them really embrace the D4 cunt persona and live that life to its fullest.

      Important to reiterate again that an objection doesn’t mean a rejection of permission.

      It can of course mean a delay in time if appealed, but even those timelines are getting much quicker.

      > It is now more than eight years since Cairn Homes agreed a €107.5m deal with RTÉ in June 2017 to purchase just under nine acres of lands at RTÉ’s Donnybrook headquarters.

      This is likely a big part of the reason why developers aren’t flocking to build here despite the current housing market. They bought a site in 2017 hoping to build about six hundred apartments and a hotel by 2020, but it took until December 2022 for DCC to approve their initial planning application, then another half a year for that to be appealed to ABP and approved by them, and then it went to the High Court for more legal wrangling because of residents objecting to it and was finally quashed this year, so now they’ve had to start all over again with a new smaller design with fewer apartments and no hotel, and there’s still no guarantee that this new application won’t also be tied up for several more years to come (though the fact there’s only one objection does at least provide some glimmer of hope). Why would anyone sensible want to invest in developing higher-density residential housing in Ireland when your proposed development is likely to be tied up in planning for years or even a decade or more and will have to go through multiple complete redesigns just to end up with something that’s two-thirds or even half of the original scale you planned on when you were first running the numbers to decide whether the prospective project was a sound financial investment in the first place?

      This is clickbait basically, riding on the back of the Metrolink news.

      The full plans for this were approved a couple of years ago, this application is a minor amendment. If their objection had any merit, the original application wouldn’t have been approved. Most major developments get a few third-party submissions which have little impact on the final decision

      Vividly remember Dermot Desmond penning a scathing article in the Irish Times about the state of housing. How’s it’s unfair and how we urgently need to fix it. Roll forward a few weeks and he and his wife were the main objectors to the initial planning on this site. Seems to just be the way of life for them lot in leafy Dublin
