Dublin 4 residents seeking to block house makeover

In November, Dublin City Council granted planning permission to the new owner of 7 Shrewsbury Rd, Aengus Kelly, chief executive of the aircraft leasing firm AerCap, and his wife, Deirdre Kelly, to build a new three-storey over-basement extension.
The couple bought the house, formerly-owned by the Priory Hall developer Larry O’Mahoney, for €4.8m last year.
