Inside look at site of former Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum ahead of 934 home development

The chief executive of the Land Development Agency has said work to deliver almost 1,000 homes at the site of the former Central Mental Hospital will begin next month – even if another judicial review is taken against the plans.

The project has already been delayed for more than two years and increased in overall costs by €30m after an ­individual objector filed judicial review proceedings in May 2023.
