Council plans new temporary flood defences for Clontarf
It has been working, for more than a decade, on plans for more permanent flood defences. But those aren’t built yet.
First announced back in 2014, the effort to get a group of households to build a home on a vacant city-centre site has been chalked up as good idea, wrong time.
A project to let citizen developers build homes in the inner city sounded like such a good idea when it was first floated in the depths of the recession. Unfortunately, it has fallen at an early hurdle.
