Labour leader concerned to see proposed construction of office blocks at this location amid housing crisis
The Dublin Bay South TD argues that the “development of more office blocks will not contribute towards the provision of necessary homes and the promotion of sustainable communities”.
The TD also pointed out there are 11,632 people living in emergency accommodation as a result of homelessness “and the sustained development of high density and high quality housing is essential to the alleviation of this housing crisis”. In relation to the impact on Portobello House, Mr Marron states that what was a significant and historical building “will have lost its importance forever” and the historical streetscape of South Richmond Street and Portobello Plaza will have been irretrievably damaged.
On behalf of the applicants, planning consultants, John Spain & Associates contends that the regeneration proposal “will make efficient use of an underutilised and predominantly derelict site”.
