In the north inner-city, tenants of 15 years evicted so council can buy their home
Dublin City Council is buying 40 homes in the Northbank apartments. It is not clear how many tenants have been evicted for the deal to proceed.
At recent meetings, councillors for the southside of the city debated three possible transport changes – two proposed in the shorter-term and one further in the future.
At Monday’s South East Area Committee, councillors were presented with plans for developments at Kevin Street and Herbert Park, and more.
Last month the property went up for sale as “an exciting and rare opportunity to develop in the heart of Donnybrook”. But some want it preserved as a testament to this horrendous part of Ireland’s social history.
People living near Herbert Park have been lobbying Dublin City Council to fix it up. Last week, the council revealed its new draft plan to do that.
