Bernard McNamara gets green light for Dublin housing project

One of the biggest names in construction circles during the boom years Bernard McNamara has been granted approval, through his Roxtip Ltd company, by Fingal County Council to construct 31 houses on lands at Beaverbrook in Donabate, north Co Dublin.

Mr McNamara’s company initially sought planning for 36 homes on the site but in the face of local opposition and concerns by the local authority, reduced the plan to 31 houses.

The Donabate area is the subject of a number of large-scale applications by house builders seeking to meet a shortfall in new homes.
