Planning Objections

Dear Editor,

At the great risk of boring the readers further I have to alert people in Lucan that major new developments are proposed to massively increase housing in the area.

This would not be objected to if we had the facilities and the public transport links that one would expect in a European city. Lucan also needs an extra Liffey bridge.

Of particular note is an undemocratic decision by South Dublin to only accept objections by email. This will exclude large numbers of older residents. It is an attempt to styme dissent.

Considering how the Council has wrecked the village green and constricted the traffic lanes which will hold up emergency vehicles in the area we must be ready to put in our objections.

The splitting of the old Dublin County was an unmitigated disaster.

Tony Feeney,
Lucan Heights
