A south Dublin community has raised more than €60,000 to fund a legal challenge to the planned redevelopment of a private square owned by fee-paying St Mary’s College to include a new synthetic pitch for rugby and other sports.
The planned development of Kenilworth Square, a three-hectare site in Dublin 6, has upset the majority of the local residents of the Victorian red-bricked square which has 88 houses.
