Mannix Flynn challenges homeless hub plan that he claims has 'been characterised by secrecy'

Dublin city councillor Mannix Flynn has been given permission by the High Court to seek to quash a decision to develop a family hub for the homeless off Aungier Street.

The challenge is over the city council's plan, in partnership with the Peter McVerry Trust, to convert a former tourist hostel at Avalon House, Whitefriar Street, into a hub for 25 individual family units.
