Demolition of 1916 leader O'Rahilly house an 'act of corporate vandalism' | JOE.ie

It is understood that the house was demolished early on Tuesday morning, despite Eoin Keegan, the Chief Executive of Dublin City Council, having written to the developers, Derryroe Ltd., to advise them that the process of protecting the building had begun.

"At the September monthly meeting of Dublin City Council we voted unanimously on a proposal from myself that this building be added to the list of protected structures," he said. The Councillor also pointed out a perceived contradiction in legislation allowing the demolition of the O'Rahilly house originally.

"We're talking about a luxury hotel, luxury apartments that will be way, way beyond the reach of any normal person in this city or this country. So it's carried out under the guise... a false premise in my view, and as I said it is, to say the least, legally questionable."

johnom318 sinnfeinireland aosnodaigh This was a totally outrageous act considering DCC had placed a stay on the demolition. The home of one of Ireland's pre-eminent patriots who, not withstanding his heroic, violent death was also one of the foremost pacifists of the era. So disappointed at this cowardly act.

sinnfeinireland aosnodaigh Everyone involved in this crime should be arrested immediately. From the developers to the demolition company bosses and their staff. If anyone came to me and asked me to demolish a house that Dublin City Council deemed of historic value I would have told them to eff off.
