Green light for apartments and housing proposal next door to Pat Kenny's home

One of Ireland’s best-known broadcasters, Newstalk's Pat Kenny and his wife, Kathy, have lost out in their battle against plans for apartment and housing development on a site adjacent to their Dalkey home.

This follows An Bord Pleanála in a surprise decision giving Richard Barrett’s Bartra Capital Property planning permission for the 18 apartments along with six houses for the 1.4-acre site.
