The owners of a hotel have been refused planning permission to keep operating its “park-and-fly" car park close to Dublin Airport.

Carra Shore Hotel Dublin Ltd have been turned down by Fingal County Council and now An Bord Pleanála for retention of its 248 car parking spaces at the Holiday Inn in Clonshaugh. It follows the recent opening of a new car park near the airport, amid commentary around parking spaces in the vicinity in the years following the covid-19 pandemic.
