Residents vote for demolition of flats and site renewal

RESIDENTS at a troubled flats complex have voted decisively for its demolition and the development of a new estate.

The results of a consultation process at Dolphin House, located in Dublin’s south inner city, will now lead to the drawing up of a “master plan” by Dublin City Council (DCC).

But council manager John Tierney told residents at Dolphin House, the second largest public flats complex in the country, the redevelopment would take time.
