Anger at Dublin hotel plans

This follows An Taisce and the The Save Moore Street Committee lodging planning appeals against Dublin City Council’s decision to give the go-ahead to Kendlebell Midwest Ltd to construct the seven-storey 112-room hotel on Moore Lane and Moore St.
The council gave the plan the go-ahead last month after the planner said the proposal respects the visual context and would not have any adverse impacts on the O’Connell Street Architectural Conservation Area, nor detract from city centre zoning objectives “to reinforce, strengthen, and protect the the civic design character and dignity of the central area”.
