The Legion of Mary is objecting to a new HQ office scheme for Grangegorman, Dublin 7 by US multi-national, Workday due to privacy invasion concerns for vulnerable women residing at a nearby 'safe haven'.
In plans lodged with Dublin City Council in September, leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, Workday is seeking a 10 year planning permission for its new EMEA headquarters here that will give the firm the capacity to increase its workforce here to 3,500.
The Legion of Mary operates the Regina Coeli Hostel, Morning Star Avenue, North Brunswick Street on lands adjacent to the Workday scheme. The hostel can cater for up to 32 homeless women at any time and is always at full capacity. He said that"the proposed development will overlook the Regina Coeli Women’s Hostel for vulnerable women to a significant degree and we would be extremely concerned at our privacy being invaded and the possibility of residents appearing on social media platforms".
In her objection, Ms Kelly states that the Regina Coeli Hostel for homeless women is run and staffed entirely by Legion of Mary volunteers and has been in existence since 1930.
