  2. >The Part V documentation lodged with the scheme puts an indicative price of €668,155 on one two-bedroom unit. 

    What’s the deal with a development like this? Are the apartments bought up by landlords to be rented out? There can’t be that many people paying this much money for a two bed apartment for themselves.

  3. >Ben Dunne Carlisle Gym, Kimmage Road West, Terenure, Dublin 12.

    So two things here: Kimmage Road West is indeed Kimmage and Dublin 12 is not Terenure. D12 is Kimmage, Crumlin and Drimnagh. Terenure is D6w. Nothing wrong with just calling it Kimmage

  4. >The Part V documentation lodged with the scheme puts an indicative price of €668,155 on one two-bedroom unit.

    So does this mean all the two beds are this price or a single specific one like a penthouse costs this much? The phrasing is slightly odd.

  5. > “nobody could say that the imposition of five blocks of six-storey apartments backing onto and overlooking the gardens of Dublin Corporation-built 1930s/40s two-storey homes is suitable, as is being proposed with the Carlisle development”.

    Yup, NIMBYism.

  6. >Aengus Ó Snodaigh said that “nobody could say that the imposition of five blocks of six-storey apartments backing onto and overlooking the gardens of Dublin Corporation-built 1930s/40s two-storey homes is suitable, as is being proposed with the Carlisle development”.

    When TDs object, the planners should tell the developers to make it a storey taller.

    SF TDs clearly feel they benefit from prolonging the housing crisis.

  7. Ha, I’m not a ~~racist~~ NIMBY, ***but***…

    >“nobody could say that the imposition of five blocks of six-storey apartments backing onto and overlooking the gardens of Dublin Corporation-built 1930s/40s two-storey homes is suitable

    Textbook NIMBY gobshite.

  8. Delighted to see him being called out on this, but what about the rest of the TDs and politicians that oppose local developments? Every single one needs to be named and shamed.
