As a local Green Party Councillor for Kimmage-Rathmines, and part of the South East Area, I made an objection alongside my Green Party colleagues Councillor Claire Byrne, South East Inner City, and Lord Mayor Hazel Chu, Pembroke – to the planning application for 348 Harold’s Cross Road, Dublin 6, Strategic Housing Development Reference number SHD 0015/20. While we welcome the development of the site of the former Kenilworth Motors and appreciate that the urban village of Harold’s Cross is a desirable location for young professionals, we feel that a shared-living model is totally unsuitable for this area for reasons outlined in our submission which you can view here.
