An application to begin the regeneration of the Ballymun housing complex is being considered by Dublin City Council. Mc Donagh and Pearse, two of the 15-storey Ballymun towers, along with seven smaller blocks, will be demolished if a planning application by Ballymun Regeneration Ltd is successful. While these demolitions represent only the tip of the iceberg - there are 36 blocks in total, including seven towers - they will kick-start the first phase of regeneration.
