Utter hypocrite! They really have contempt for people. Of course he wasn’t alone in his objections at the time.
>There were many other objections to the development including by former taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar while he was minister for social protection, then-tanaiste and Labour leader Joan Burton, current Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman who was a councillor at the time, and Ruth Coppinger TD.
In fairness having read the article he seems to have been referring to the entire supermarket development as a “monstrosity” rather than the handful of apartments. I don’t know Castleknock so maybe it was.
On the other hand, we need to stop referring to suburbs of Dublin as “villages”. You live in a city, go live in the countryside if you want to live in a village.
Fair to say societal attitudes about housing were still a lot different in 2016.
Didn’t get the brown envelope?
Can we get some independent historians to review all the places marked as an “architectural conservation area”.
I’d be surprised if the buildings in Castleknock are worthy of any preservation. It is just an excuse to try and keep some areas a bit more posh than others.
That development has been a huge improvement to the area, loads of snobs didn’t want it because you know snobbery, but the place is packed now, I’m sure they shop there now and the buildings around plus apartments look really good.
Cuntbag.
That particular Lidl is now my local supermarket of choice.
And no, for those living in Castleknock village itself; Roselawn and Blanch are not viable, walkable alternatives.
Plus the café there, Melo, is incredibly well visited and loved by the locals.
We are all jack chambers, we are all Tommy Tiernan
We are the problem
Wait, Lidl do apartments now?
Always had been and always will be a waste of oxygen. Useless, clueless, spineless and clearly doing whoever funds hims bidding. Hasn’t a useful independent thought in his gormless body. A shill and a clown, who’ll fail his way up like a good aul nepo baby.
In fairness his objection was from 10 years ago, when he was still in primary school
I dunno… I mean, a lot of people will change their view on something over an 9 year time period. I’d give benefit of doubt here, housing crisis wasn’t the same animal in 2016 as 2025
