Cockapoo ‘Ruby’ in St Anne’s Park
“on lead off lead” proposal I’ve been pushing for St. Anne’s Park so that everyone, both dog owners and non dog owners can be comfortably accommodated at all times in the park; email @DubCityCouncil parks@dublincity.ie with your views pic.twitter.com/3NTxOcNC85

This afternoon.
Clontarf, Raheny, county Dublin.
Under current rules, dogs are allowed roam FREE in St Anne’s before 11am and in the last hour of the park’s opening times in any section of the park.
Councillor Deirdre Heney told Dublin People last month:
“I have been pressing for the introduction of the change because of the large and variety of park users, young and not so young, some who love their dogs and want them to be allowed off lead, and other users, who prefer dogs were on lead at all times.
“The proposal includes allowing dogs off lead (and under effective control) at all times in 77.5 hectares of the park and an ‘on lead at all times’ area in 21.9 hectares of the park.
“The ‘on lead at all times’ areas will allow people (including some dog owners) who are uncomfortable or nervous of dogs off lead, to enjoy the park in areas where dogs will be required to be on lead at all times.”
Sound ‘people-first’ logic?
Or blatantly anti-canine?
Only you can decide.

St Paul’s College pitches at St Anne’s Park in Raheny, Co Dublin; decision by An Board Pleanála to grant permission for apartments to be built
RTÉ reports:
An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission to contentious plans for more than 650 homes on playing pitches beside St Anne’s Park in Raheny in north Dublin.
The appeals board has given Pat Crean’s Marlet Group the green light in spite of strong local opposition against the plan.
The appeals board had received over 650 objections against the proposed development.
Under the Government’s ‘fast track’ planning rules, Marlet’s Crekav Trading was seeking a 10 year permission to construct 657 apartments on the St Paul College’s site.
Meanwhile…
Facebook group I Love St Anne’s writez:
“Planning permission for 657 apartments on the St Paul’s pitches in St Anne’s has been GRANTED.
“We are surprised and disappointed with this decision from An Bord Pleanála, which appears to contradict their own recent ruling on the synthetic pitches and their 2018 refusal for a similar development on the same lands.
“In addition, there are two legal processes on-going in relation to this land, which in our view, make today’s ruling somewhat premature.
“Once we have had a chance to review the Inspector’s Report we will post a full update.”
