Dublin City Council has given the green light for contentious new plans for a two-school campus at Sandymount, Dublin 4, in spite of strong local opposition.

The Council has granted planning to the Dept of Education for a two-storey primary Educate Together school and a three-storey post-primary Educate Together school on the five-acre Rosyln Park College campus.
