What a fierce rebuke. This will clearly act as powerful deterrent to all developers in Ireland. Will they even survive such a high fine?
Peanuts to them. When it’s just a tiny fine to break a law then that means it only applies to poor people.
How is it that just the company was taken to court.
A person ordered this. A person or persons is responsible. How can you break laws then hide behind a company. The “company” is just an entity on paper. It’s people who are breaking the law.
“Builders bulldozed the house in September 2020 to use the site for a 12-storey apartment and hotel development.”
That’s some ‘technical breach’
Jesus who cares – if the family cared so dearly about the house they shouldn’t have sold it 50 years ago. They want to keep an unusable house in the middle of Dublin blocking building during a housing shortage.
To my knowledge he didn’t even live in it until like late 1920s anyway
Edit:
Correction – early 1910s was when he lived there for 6 years before he died. Leaving post unchanged so the repliers can keep their shitty sarcasm.
OP can you explain this part of the article
>Derryroe Ltd, operated by the McSharry and Kennedy families, who have the Herbert Park Hotel, __was granted permission by An Bord Pleanala for the demolition and redevelopment scheme.__
>However, the council’s prosecution of them and co-defendants Pembroke Place Developments Ltd at Dublin District Court was for the “unauthorised demolition” of the O’Rahilly House, contrary to section 151 of the Planning and Development Act.
They were granted permission for the demolition, what exactly is the technical issue here?
>”Builders bulldozed the house in September 2020 to use the site for a 12-storey apartment and hotel development.”
They appear to have had full permission to demolish the house, but were to agree on a financial contribution to DCC in lieu of providing a public open space prior to commencement of work.
The value of the contribution was not agreed at the time, and so they were not in full compliance with their PP.
It’s very far removed from an _Archer’s Garage_ scenario.
