Let Battle Commence
We had a great Selection Convention in The Mansion House for the Pembroke-Rathmines and the South East Inner City wards. The Selection Conventions were chaired by well known blogging politician, Dominic Hannigan, and hosted by the Dublin South East Labour Party. Kevin Humphreys and Maria Parodi were selected for the South East Inner City –…

Press Release: President of Planning Institute is wrong and should get his facts right
The President of the Irish Planning Institute should get some facts rights before taking cheap shots at elected Councillors according to the former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Dermot Lacey. In my experience it has been Councillors and not the planners who have defended good quality planning and the City Development Plan. So, before President…

The Demise of the Progressive Democrats
With the soon to be ending life of the PDs, it is worth looking at their record here in Dublin South East. Clearly the towering personality, here, as in many ways the Party itself, was Michael McDowell. As a local TD I always found Michael courteous and helpful and, while not sharing his politics, I…

Cost of land cannot be a yardstick – The Irish Times
Today’s Irish Times continues their coverage of the An Bord Pleanála hearing into Seán Dunne’s proposals for his site in Ballsbridge. They cover Dermot’s contribution to the hearing as their leader on the subject: THE PRICE paid for land cannot be allowed to become the “yardstick” by which planning decisions are made, Labour city councillor…

Ballsbridge Development
Sean Dunne’s plans for the former Berkeley Court and Jury’s site have been described as bold and imaginative – and indeed they are. Perhaps perfectly designed for a nice new site – in Dubai. However Ballsbridge is not Dubai nor was it recommended for high rise development in the independent study commissioned on this issue…

“Dermo delivers for D4 and D6” – The Irish Times
Dermot received some glowing praise in today’s Irish Times. Thu, Aug 28, 2008 Given that much building work is now concentrated on home extensions, its hardly surprising that one-time architect Ruairí Quinn TD has joined with Labour councillor Dermot Lacey to deliver – to every home in their constituencies – what is grandly called Dermot…

ABP Hearing – Ballsbridge
At the An Bord Pleanala hearing into the proposed developments in Ballsbridge last Thursday (23rd July), I told the Inspector hearing the appeal that the choice before An Bord Pleanála was whether to uphold the integrity of the Development Plan process by refusing permission or to throw out the entire process and allowing unplanned development…

ABP Hearing: Ballsbridge Development
The An Bord Pleanála oral hearing into the proposed developments on the former sites of the Veterinary College and Jury’s Hotel in Ballsbridge begins today. The hearing is open to the public, and will be held in the RDS. Many local residents groups are parties to the appeal, including: Nutley Residents Association, the Pembroke Road…

Ballsbridge Local Area Plan
While supportive in principle of a Ballsbridge Area Plan being prepared, I have analysed the Draft Plan, listened to the considered views of residents and others, and come to the conclusion that it is not in the interests of the area that the Draft Plan as proposed be adopted. Accordingly I have submitted the following…

Planning Submission on Berkely Court & Jury’s Hotel Site
Planning Officer, Dublin City Council, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8. Re: Proposed Development at former Berkley Court and Jury’s Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Dear Sir, As a Councillor I have had a number of opportunities to comment on the above application. I wish simply to re-emphasize the view outlined at the Area Committee that…
