Apartment plans submitted for site alongside popular Terenure gym
Plans to develop apartments alongside the BD Carlisle gym in Terenure have been submitted to Dublin City Council despite permission already in place for a large development.
The new proposal is for 145 apartments over five blocks that are five storeys in height, with the former plans approved for 208 units over five blocks of up to six storeys. A creche and community arts and culture space are both proposed within the new plans.
The previous application for the Kimmage Road West site had an appeal with An Bord Pleanala but ultimately was granted permission on the second stage. Issues in that appeal included its excessive density and height and overlooking of existing homes.
Concerns were raised regarding inadequate public transport capacity and insufficient car parking as well as significant flooding risks. A lack of adequate social infrastructure and an unsuitable unit mix for social and affordable housing was also considered an issue with the plans.
The new application include 89 car parking spaces, 465 bicycle spaces and six motorcycle spaces as well as public and communal open spaces. Access to the site will be via the existing BD Gym route.
Observations can be made on the application until July 30 2025. A decision will be made by Dublin City Council shortly afterward.

Travel chaos as Ryanair cancels 170 flights due to French air traffic control strike
Ryanair has said it was forced to cancel 170 flights during a traffic controller strike in France today and tomorrow. Other airlines have also had to ground certain routes. The cancellations are set to affect tens of thousands of passengers during the busy summer travel period, including many Irish passengers planning to travel to and from a number of destinations, including popular holiday spots in France and Spain. Some flights between Ireland and Spain travelling through French airspace have also been affected. A number of flights in and out of Dublin Airport have been affected. Airlines including Ryanair, Air France, Aer Lingus and Transavia France have had to pull flights throughout the day. Routes cancelled include the Parisian airports of Beauvais, Orly, and Charles De Gaulle, as well as Biarritz, Nice, and the Spanish city of Murcia. In a statement today, Ryanair said that flights through French airspace from the UK to Greece and Spain to Ireland will also be impacted. The airline said: "In addition to flights to/from France being cancelled, this strike will also affect all French overflights." Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has continued calls for the European Commission to reform European Union air traffic control services. The CEO said: "Another month of ATC mismanagement and staff shortages has passed, but neither the EU Commission nor national Transport Ministers – who are responsible for national ATC services – have taken any action to fix Europe's worst-performing ATC providers. As a result, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and the UK continue to delay thousands of Ryanair flights and millions of Ryanair passengers, putting them in stark contrast to other EU States, like Slovakia, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, and Netherlands, who are delivering many many more on-time flights, making them the best ATC providers in Europe so far this year."

'Cities across the world are being reshaped by post-pandemic life, changing how we shop, move, gather, and live,' he said. 'Dublin can't drift - it must lead,' he added. 'This Commission will bring people together from every part of city life to ask one central question: what should Dublin's city centre feel and look like by 2050?'
