Dublin council blocks 38-unit nuns' care home over traffic, safety, and parking concerns near schools.
Dublin City Council has rejected a proposal for a 38-unit residential care facility for elderly nuns in Ballsbridge, citing safety concerns over traffic, pedestrian access, and inadequate parking on a narrow laneway near two schools.
The project, submitted by Granville Developments Ltd, faced opposition from the Department of Education and local residents, who argued the site is vital for future educational infrastructure.
The council emphasized the risks of vehicular overspill and insufficient road upgrades, stating the decision was based on planning regulations, not religious bias.
No appeals or alternative plans have been confirmed.
