Court dismisses move to quash planning decision
What was described as a "spoiling action" to frustrate the £250 million Carlton Hotel and Millennium Mall development behind O'Connell Street, Dublin, has been rejected by the High Court. Mr Justice John Quirke yesterday dismissed an attempt by Keelgrove Properties Ltd to quash a decision of An Bord Pleanála upholding planning permission which had been granted by Dublin Corporation to Shelbourne Developments Ltd for the scheme. It includes a new hotel, shopping mall and a 4,000-seat conference centre on sites located in Parnell Street, Moore Street, O'Rahilly Parade and Moore Lane.
