Brian O'Driscoll and Amy Huberman get go-ahead to revamp home

Former Ireland rugby player Brian O’Driscoll and actress Amy Huberman have received the go-ahead to revamp their new €1.8m family home in south Dublin.

The pair had last year purchased a Victorian property on Palmerston Road in Rathmines.

With only days to spare, they successfully applied for an extension to the five-year planning permission attached to the property.
