A TWO-STOREY Irish Jewish Museum and reinstated synagogue has been granted planning permission in Portobello, Dublin.

An Bord Pleanála decided by a majority of five to three to grant permission generally, with a number of revised conditions.

The Bord decided that the proposed development would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area of property in the vicinity, it would not be prejudicial to public health or pose a risk to flooding.

It also said it would be acceptable in terms of traffic safety and convenience.

The conditions include that a full architectural survey of the exteriors and the interiors of the buildings proposed for demolition on the site be carried out; that the height of the plant zone not exceed a certain height; and that the noise level during development not exceed a certain level.

The Bord also asked that prior to the opening of the museum, the applicant give a mobility management plan to the Bord that will include measures to encourage the use of sustainable modes of transport to the location.

There had been some opposition from locals to the demolition of numbers 3 – 7 on Walworth Road in Portobello and the construction of the museum.

    RTE reported him as a suspect in the disappearance of a man, suspect in possession of stolen property and as being suspected in involvement in the drugs trade.

    The independent reported him as being discharged from the force on medical grounds and being found with three cannabis plants (for pain), interviewed about a neighbour who went missing and having come into possession of stolen farm equipment.

    Two very different people. Was he a ruthless criminal or a man in pain who lost a friend and got duped into buying dodgy equipment?

    Sorry there should actually be a question mark after the word pain. It was my own thought and not part of the independent report.
