An appeal is to be lodged with An Bord Pleanála against a decision to grant planning permission for apartments in the 17th-century Kilmainham Mill. Kilmainham residents and trustees of the gaol museum agreed at a public meeting to lodge two separate appeals against the decision of Dublin City Council. The permission is for the five-storey mill building in Kilmainham village to be converted into 10 apartments and for a two-storey annexe to become a duplex apartment. One of the conditions is that the façade of the listed building be protected.
