Objections to fast food restaurant near school

The Irish Heart Foundation (IHF) has lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála against plans to develop a large, fast-food, drive-thru restaurant close to a primary school in north Dublin.

The charity wants to overturn Fingal Co Council’s recent granting of planning permission for the 125-seater, two-storey building, at the Skerries Point centre on Barnageeragh Rd, Skerries. It is within 300m of the town’s Educate Together national school.
