Luxury home to replace south Dublin mansion bought for €4.35m

A large Victorian-style mansion in south Dublin acquired for €4.35m three years ago is to be demolished to make way for an even larger luxury home, despite opposition from a community group and some local residents.

An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission to Ian Curley, former chief executive of glass and metal company Ardagh, to demolish Sunnyside, a villa on Killiney’s Vico Road which he purchased in December 2015.
