The report delivered at the meeting last night noted that there will be implications to the rezoning of this land and that further planning will need to occur. Speaking to TheJournal.ie, Sinn Féin councillor Daithí Doolan, chairman of the council’s Housing Strategic Policy Committee, said these plans have been in the pipeline since 2004 and that they are “long overdue” but that he doesn’t think progress will happen “overnight”.

He said that “we don’t want to give a blank check to private developers” to develop areas “that don’t meet the needs of local communities”.
