Too many hotels planned for Dublin, says An Taisce

An Taisce has said that there are already too many hotels in Dublin in a submission opposing planning permission for an eight-storey hotel.

The environment and heritage charity is against plans to demolish Twilfit House at the junction of Jervis Street and Upper Abbey Street and build a new hotel on the site. It has found an ally in businessman Ben Dunne who has called the plans “unacceptable, unwarranted and inappropriate”.
