Apartment scheme halted after Mary Lou McDonald opposes build-to-rent model

Sinn Fein's President Mary Lou McDonald said: “It is a reality that build-to-rent homes are unaffordable for families and workers."

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has emerged victorious in her opposition against plans for a 117-unit build-to-rent apartment scheme for the former ‘Matt's of Cabra’ pub site at Cabra.

This follows the appeals board refusing planning permission to R&D Developments Ltd for the scheme, which would have had 67 one-bed and 50 two-bed units, at Faussagh Avenue, Cabra.
