Development next to tower may be blocked

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / July 12 2004: Development next to tower may be blocked

South Dublin County Council is to vote tonight on a motion blocking the development of apartments next to one of Ireland's oldest intact round towers, in Clondalkin. The motion, if approved, could leave the local authority open to a legal challenge by the developers who gained approval in principal for the development under a land-swap deal with the county council four years ago. South Dublin mayor Cllr Robert Dowds (Labour), who is proposing the motion with the support of all members of the Clondalkin ward, said rescinding the council's support for the development would probably lead to a compensation demand.
