In Ballymun, a rare plant complicates a football club’s ambitions
Its discovery is holding up an expansion, the club’s secretary says. But there should be a way it can happen, while keeping the plant safe, an ecologist says.
“The use of fireworks has a detrimental effect on humans and their pets,” said a motion from Fianna Fáil Councillor Deirdre Heney that the committee backed.
Getting a tenant for the space that once housed the Eden Restaurant could help reduce anti-social behaviour on Meeting House Square, she says.
These were two of the issues Dublin city councillors discussed at a recent meeting of their housing committee.
Some business owners and councillors say there has been a rising level of anti-social behaviour and crime in the city centre in recent months, despite what Gardaí figures show.
