Google's pub plans causes upset among Dublin households

The application lodged last month to Dublin City Council came nine months after Google officially opened the first phase of its Bolands Mills development.

Locals have called on Dublin City Council to refuse planning permission to Google Ireland’s plans for a new Dublin 4 pub.

Last month, Google Ireland lodged plans with the council to change a permitted use of "retail, cafe, restaurant, marketplace" to that of "public house" for the ground floor and lower ground floor of Unit 3 Building B at Google's Boland’s Mill campus on Ringsend Rd, Dublin 4.
