Archiseek / Ireland / News / 1999 / September 14 1999: Sandymount church demolition confirmed

A plan to demolish Sandymount Presbyterian Church and halls is to go ahead despite objections from local residents. In a statement issued last night, the Presbyterian Residential Trust confirmed it would proceed with the demolition of the church, which dates back to 1858, and replace it with sheltered accommodation for elderly people and a number of luxury apartments. It has obtained planning permission for the Ł1.5 million development from Dublin Corporation.
