Residents raise Covid-19 fears in appeals against controversial co-living scheme 

Bartra aims to invest €130 million constructing four co-living sites in the capital, including Ballsbridge, Dun Laoghaire, Rathmines and Castleknock.

A number of Dublin 4 residents say Covid-19 concerns should force planners to reject proposals by property firm Bartra Capital to develop a contentious €25 million shared co-living scheme on a site in Ballsbridge.

Five third-party appeals have been lodged by seven individuals concerning the scheme planned for 98 Merrion Rd.
