Plan for baths site in Dún Laoghaire rejected

The Irish Times

Councillors in Dún Laoghaire have voted to reject a controversial proposal to redevelop the local derelict baths, which included 180 apartments in an eight-storey block. They have instead agreed to consider five smaller proposals for the site, which exclude any commercial element. The decision was taken at the end of last night's Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council meeting on a motion put forward by An Cathaoirleach Pat Hand, from Fine Gael, and Labour Cllr Aidan Culhane. The two councillors called for a subcommittee to be formed, made up of the six Dún Laoghaire ward councillors, to look at the five options.
