Green light for seven-storey hotel near Croke Park

The GAA has permission to build a seven-storey 200 bedroom hotel on the grounds of Clonliffe College located close to Croke Park in Dublin.

An Bord Pleanala has given the go-ahead to the GAA for a seven-storey 200 bedroom hotel on the grounds of Clonliffe College located close to Croke Park in Dublin.

The appeals board has granted planning permission despite strong opposition by two objectors, Kate O'Hea and Margaret Gaughran, who last year appealed Dublin City Council’s decision to grant to An Bord Pleanala.
