St Mary’s College applied for exemption for changes including reconfiguration of playing pitches that would cause ‘irreversible damage’, local residents claim
Residents surrounding Kenilworth Square in south Dublin have labelled a planning exemption application made by St Mary’s College in Rathmines for a controversial development as a “gross abuse” of the planning system.
Plans drawn up by the school would also see the erection of six 18m-high floodlights, and the construction of a car park, a spectators’ area and a new pavilion for changing rooms. The school has previously declined to comment on the plans nor the backlash from residents, however, in its application for an exemption, said it is “very conscious of the community interest in the proposal from people who live on the square”.
“The manner in which they are dealing with stakeholders, parents, community, locals and residents is truly shocking, especially coming from a religious-run school that espouses values around community spirit and has a stated mission to ‘serve the common good,’” he said.
