Dermot’s thoughts on the proposal to redevelop another school in Dublin 4 received coverage in The Irish Times<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

The Holy Faith Sisters<\/a> have applied for permission to demolish the school at Haddington Road, and replace it with luxury apartments.\u00a0 The school closed in 2007 after more than 100 years.<\/p>\n

From The Irish Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Councillors last night said the sisters should not be granted planning permission for the development because of the lack of schools in the area.<\/p>\n

“We can’t sell off our schools to support the living standards of nuns. The nuns are entitled to a better standard of living in the future, but we can’t see another educational institution in this area going,” Labour councillor Dermot Lacey said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the 2004 city development plan the councillors put “Z15” zoning on the lands, which aims to maintain institutional use of a site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
