Aidan Hickey’s High Court challenge over alleged unauthorised development at Aisling House was struck out on 19 October 2017. The matter concerned Dublin City Council’s plans for 19 and 20 St Lawrence Road, Clontarf, which it intended to use as accommodation for homeless families.

The application was briefly mentioned before Mr Justice Charles Meenan. Mr Hickey claimed works had proceeded without planning permission or public consultation; his representative told the court the matter could be struck out, and the judge agreed.
