You kind of just repeeated what @Gman said
Does this mean both parties have to pay for their costs?
Ceist replied to The_Selfish_Giant saying Yes, that’s correct. In the absence of a specific order from the judge, each party is responsible for their own legal costs.

Permission granted by ABP in 2020. Here we are 3 years later in a Housing crisis and not a sod turned and the cost of the project probably doubled.
Lads wanted landlords out of the market and now see what that causes

They’re still going, looking to raise another €25k to challenge it further.
An absolute disgrace, residents blocking a €1bn development of 2k homes, of which over 600 will be social houses. All of this within a 20 minute walk to St Stephen’s Green.
The local pages of these groups should be looked at- the language used and disingenuous arguments are something else.

In the interview I posted earlier the CEO says it will likely be 10 years from when they acquired the site to starting construction. Madness.

Antisocial behaviour.
I didnt know much about this one, but it is currently vacant factory areas and unused green areas. One overgrown field and one field that looks like it would have burnt out cars left in it. Neither used as green space for kids activities anyway. Horrible asbestos ridden factories just lying to waste.
What is proposed then is refurbing the historic building for re use, the vacant field to be used as a soccer pitch, and the other over grown field to be housing. With actually playgrounds and community areas, so would actually give far more to the area than what is currently there.
This is a usual argument of nimbys. “dont take our green space”. Yet the green space is overgrown and an eyesore and wouldnt be used by children whatsoever. It is most likely used by those you dont want in your community.
Granted, there shouldnt be carte blanche just to build anything a developer wants, and the height of any proposed building should be carefully guided and approved, but these objections just seem to be a case on pure nimbyism.

There is a ‘green area’ in Ballymount. For months every weekend some fella was going in with a metal detector. He must have buried something in it one night and he’s fucked if he can remember where.

Congrats to Dublin City Council for this tremendous achievement. Two floors chopped off this and 20% less units. 
I’m sure it being 8 floors and not 10 floors is going to make an extraordinary difference to this gorgeous vista.
Quick update on this.
The sitting tenants are after buying the house. Im delighted for them. No bullshit auctioneers involved. Fair price agreed and everyone happy.

Was in Dublin the other day and left the city a way I’d never travelled before.
Came out through Lucan past the massive Super value and out via Newcastle. Within mins of leaving massively build up Lucan you are in the countryside
How come none of that land is developed? Is it down to lack of public transport or what
My brother used to live in Lucan and that’s the way I always went.Very handy way to get to the M7.

I think they have preserved “green belts” between areas so it’s not one continuous sprawl of houses.
Adamstown is just beside there too.

If you turn right at the cross coming into Newcastle and head out by Athgoe brings you out a good bit further down. That’s the way I come in and out.

The Adamstown development is along that route and there’s a few new estates in Newcastle itself, maybe it was never rezoned fully all the way out

Lawler didn’t do enough brown envelope stuff. Think his house was up for sale there recently.
How did Adamstown fare out in the end assume all houses are occupied out there now. I remember early on they felt it was a massive ghost estate nearly
More or less built out at this stage. Big Indian community there.
