A developer has threatened to sue Dublin City Council after they "de-zoned" land in Raheny due to fears of displacing wild geese and a lack of playing pitches in the area.
Councillors voted to zone the land for open space last week which ruled out any housing developments. The change will come into effect on December 14 as part of DCC's Development Plan.
The 17-acre site beside St Anne's Park in Raheny features a number of playing pitches. Councillors from the North Central Area Committee argued the site should be zoned for open use in a motion to the Development Plan.
