Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / August 24 2004: Dublin Civic Trust opposes plan to delist 500 buildings

Dublin city councillors have until Friday to make submissions on a new development plan for the city which would take 500 Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian houses off the protected buildings list. By removing them from the list the council is effectively proposing to sign the death warrant for hundreds of these houses, according to the president of Dublin Civic Trust. Prof Kevin B. Nolan, who is also vice-president of the Dublin Georgian Society, said a recommendation by the council's planners to delete more than 500 houses from the Record of Protected Structures (RPS) would leave them vulnerable to being "irrevocably damaged".
