'Intrusive' Rathmines LED billboard ruled compliant by Dublin City Council

An "intrusive" LED billboard has been ruled compliant with planning regulations by Dublin City Council.

The bright electronic billboard sparked a controversy when it was installed just a few metres from a bedroom window in Rathmines. The local authority's planning enforcement department carried out a "thorough investigation" into the issue after a number of complaints were lodged.

The brightness level and fade and transition, which were the focus of the complaints, were found to "now" be in compliance with the requirements. The brightness of the electronic billboard which runs advertisements is understood to have been turned down.
