Lidl Ireland said it will be unable to build apartment and supermarket scheme if tunnels not redesigned
Proposals by Lidl Ireland to build a 15-storey tower block in Ballymun must not be stymied by the development of Metrolink, the supermarket giant has told An Bord Pleanála’s hearing on the €9.5 billion rail line.
Metrolink: Residents’ lives will be ‘nothing short of a nightmare’ if Ballymun station plan goes aheadHowever, while this scheme at up to15 storeys tall complied with the height provisions of the Fingal County Development Plan, it could not be built Lidl said, because the Metrolink tunnels would not support its weight.
Dr Ronan Hallissey, representing TII, said this would require a redesign of the tunnel at the location, “and we don’t think that’s reasonable in the context of a proposed new development that’s just appeared for the first time today”.
