An Bord Pleanála has cleared the way for developer Harry Crosbie's planned Vicar Street hotel scheme for Dublin 8 after invalidating the sole appeal against the hotel proposal on technical grounds.

The appeals board invalidated the appeal after appellant and newly elected TD for Dublin South Central, Sinn Féin's Maire Devine, enclosed the incorrect Dublin City Council procedural letter with the appeal.
