Ruling in Raheny housing development case expected next week
Summary
A High Court judge will decide next week whether to send back a controversial planning application for a 500‑unit housing development in Raheny to An Bord Pleanála for a new hearing. The developer, Crekav Trading of Marlet, had been granted permission to build 104 houses and 432 apartments on land that had been used as six playing pitches for St Paul's College. The application was made directly to the Board under a fast‑track process, bypassing the local authority. The Board admits it erred in granting the permission and seeks a remittance, but objectors—including Clonres CLG, environmental campaigner Peter Sweetman, Mr John Conway, and the Louth Environmental Group—argue the decision is fundamentally flawed and want it quashed. They also have brought proceedings against the State and the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The judge, Mr Justice David Barniville, will rule on whether to remit the matter or simply quash the decision.
