Mary Lou McDonald appeals against latest phase of €500m plan for 'Dublin’s historic core'

Mary Lou McDonald claimed that the proposed development “will erase for all time Moore Street’s unique plot grains and courtyards which give this site its historic core differentiating it from other competing locations nationally and internationally".

The leader of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, has lodged a planning appeal against the third phase of Hammerson’s €500 million transformation plan for Dublin City Centre.

The move by the Dublin Central TD to lodge an appeal with An Bord Pleanala follows Stephen Troy of Troy Family Butchers on Moore Street lodging an appeal against the Dublin City Council grant of permission last month to Hammerson, Dublin Central GP Ltd.
