Dublin City Council prosecuted Carolyn Brennan of Phibsborough Road after she changed the roof of her family home in 2020 and battled to be granted retention
The four-year dispute began after she changed the roof of the family of eight’s home in 2020 and battled to be granted retention. A second inspection on January 27th, 2021, confirmed the work was completed and the windows were installed in the roof. The prosecution said that the new roof design was out of character with the terrace and injurious to the visual amenity of the area.He said they felt they were being targeted, and the council rejected their efforts to make the property match other houses.
Ms Brennan told the contested hearing that three kids used the attic room, and she questioned why other houses were allowed similar roofs. However, he added that if An Bord Pleanála decides in their favour, that would trump the enforcement notice before the court.Defence Forces corporal jailed over role in €6.6m money laundering operation
