Yeats' home saved from the developers

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / February 14 2000: Yeats' home saved from the developers

Sile de Valera, the Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Minister, has stepped in to save Riversdale House, the last home of poet WB Yeats, from being demolished. The minister has written to South Dublin County Council advising it to turn down a planning application. The developer wants to tear down the house at Ballyboden Road, Rathfarnham, Co Dublin and build apartments.
