An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved a three-year planning retention for Chawkes Woodfired Pizza at Dunnes Stores Cornelscourt despite local objections regarding smoke emissions.
The operation at Cornelscourt is one of four Chawke-run and owned ‘Fired Up’ pizza operations around south Dublin and the others are located at The Old Goat, Goatstown, Donnybrook and Rathfarnham.
An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved a Chawke family firm’s plans to continue operating its ‘Fired Up’ wood-fired pizza operation on the grounds of Dunnes Stores, Cornelscourt in Dublin 18. ACP granted planning retention for three years to Chawkes Woodfired Pizza Ltd for a self contained Pizza Catering Truck and outdoor seating within Dunnes Stores, Cornelscourt, Dublin 18, despite health concerns expressed by a medical consultant based at St Vincent’s hospital.
In May, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Co Council granted planning retention for the scheme for three years but this was appealed to ACP by local resident, Niall Melvin. Top wealth management executive leaves Davy and it’s a good time to be an accountant Aoife Matthews, Jennifer O’Connell and Louise O’Riordan: ‘This is for our mothers, sisters, friends, and ourselves – so only the best will do’ In her submission Murphy stated that it is her medical opinion that recurring smoke emissions and repeated exposure to wood-fired particulates are sufficient to give rise to upper airway irritation symptoms and materially intervene with the residential enjoyment of her dwelling and rear garden area in Foxrock.
However, in its ruling, ACP pointed to the Neighbourhood Centre zoning of the site which it says is supportive of the pizza catering truck development. ACP said that subject to 10 conditions, the proposed development would constitute an acceptable form of development and would not adversely impact on the visual or residential amenities of the area. In her assessment, ACP inspector Siobhán Carroll noted that the operation of the pizza ovens does generate smoke.
Carroll said she was satisfied that the attachment of a condition by the Council’s Environmental Health Officer addresses the matter of smoke generated by the use of the pizza ovens by specifying the fuel source. Carroll said she was satisfied that the proposed development would not give rise to undue impact on existing residential amenities.
The operation at Cornelscourt is one of four Chawke-run and owned ‘Fired Up’ pizza operations around south Dublin and the others are located at The Old Goat, Goatstown, Donnybrook and Rathfarnham. The most recent accounts for Chawkes Woodfired Pizza Ltd show that it recorded post tax profits of €294,568 in the 12 months to the end of May 2025 and had accumulated profits of €965,152.

Ormond Hotel site sold to Irish investors after 13-year ownership sagaMalaysian owners Monteco have sold the Ormond Hotel site at Ormond Quay Upper in Dublin to a group of Irish hotel developers for approximately €12 million. The property, which features in the Sirens chapter of James Joyce's Ulysses, was originally purchased by developer Bernard McNamara in 2006 for €17 million. Monteco acquired it from McNamara in 2013 for about €2.5 million. The sale price represents a multiple of Monteco's investment but remains well below McNamara's original purchase price.
