The contractor and design team on the project referred to by the Deputy met with the local residents last week to listen to their concerns.

They assured the residents that the works on site are fully in accordance with the planning consent granted by South Dublin County Council in respect of the design, height and location of the building.

Restrictions on both noise and working hours were stipulated in the conditions set out in the planning permission. The contractor has undertaken to continue to monitor and comply with these conditions.

The concerns of the local residents were noted and the contractor and the design team will review these concerns and look to mitigate noise levels to the greatest possible extent.
