Carlton site compulsory purchase order defended

The Irish Times

An Bord Pleanála has argued before the High Court there was substantial material to support its decision to confirm a compulsory purchase order (CPO) over a site extending from the former Carlton cinema in central Dublin. Mr Ian Finlay SC, for the board, also yesterday disputed arguments that Dublin City Council had made the CPO in December 2001 without identifying what type of development was required for the site. The type of development was, "in general, most certainly identified".
