Construction firm ordered to pay €3,000 over ‘technical breach’ in O'Rahilly house demolition

40 Herbert Park, Dublin, before its demolition. CONSTRUCTION FIRM PEMBROKE Place Developments Ltd has been ordered to give €3,000 to charity to avoid a court conviction for “a technical breach” during the demolition of the former home of 1916 Rising leader Michael Joseph O’Rahilly.

Derryroe Ltd, operated by the McSharry and Kennedy families, who have the Herbert Park Hotel, was granted permission by An Bord Pleanala for the demolition and redevelopment scheme. The construction firm admitted there had been non-compliance with 15 agreed special conditions of planning permission before the commencement of demolition work on 29 September, 2020.Work on the site ceased pending the outcomes of related High Court and Supreme Court challenges to the development and the conclusion of the District Court prosecution.

Slattery said the firm had no prior convictions, and if the work were commencing now, there would be no contravention.The council’s solicitor Michael Quinlan agreed that, at the time, it was an offence and a “technical breach”.

Hardly provides any disincentive. They'd surely do it all over again. Why disable comments on the article?
