A Dublin inner city primary school and local residents have put the brakes on the Dublin Simon Community pressing ahead with its plan for a 70-bed recovery centre for homeless drug addicts and alcoholics at Usher's Island.
This follows St Audoen's National School and local residents lodging appeals to An Bord Pleanála against last month's Dublin City Council decision to give the plan the go-ahead.
On behalf of the board of management of the school, school principal Eilish Meagher argued in its appeal to the board that "the area is over-saturated with community facilities and in particular detox and rehabilitation centres".
