Broadcaster Pat Kenny and his wife Kathy and their Dalkey neighbours have lost out in their long running planning battle to prevent a planned five-storey nursing home getting the go-ahead.
This follows An Bord Pleanala giving the Richard Barrett-led Bartra Property Ltd the green light for the 104 bed nursing home at Yonder, Ulverton Rd and Harbour Rd, Dalkey on lands that border the Kenny family home.
The appeals board ruling overturns a planning refusal issued more than two years ago in June 2021 by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to Bartra Property Ltd the scheme.
