A High Court judge urged consultation to address concerns about pedestrianisation of a street in Malahide, Co Dublin when he dismissed a challenge to the scheme Mr Justice Richard Humphreys said consultations between residents and the local council about the pedestrianisation of New Street “might take the edge off any perceived knock-on effect” for residents in adjoining areas One of the impacts would be on the number of car-parking spaces He said that was “the ever-present reality of trade-offs again a perpetual disappointment to those whose imaginative bandwidth doesn’t stretch beyond simplistic solutions” He made the comments when he dismissed a challenge Nicola Byrne, who lives on Old Street, Malahide, to Fingal County Council’s decision to permanently pedestrianise New Street which she claimed would have knock-on effects for residents in adjoining streets such as where she lives the first having been in 2021 when she was refused an injunction stopping the temporary pedestrianisation she challenged the permanent pedestrianisation Mr Justice Humphreys rejected most grounds of the challenge including one seeking an order to quash the plan [ ‘It’s filled with drinkers, not shoppers’: tensions flare over Malahide street pedestrianisation planOpens in new window ] However, he granted Ms Byrne a declaration that the council, from June 2020, had failed and is continuing to fail with provisions of the Planning and Development Act by failing to adopt a local area plan for Malahide. Before concluding his judgment, the judge asked “if there was any room” for the council to consider further consultations with the Old Street residents or their elected members to see if any other road-design, traffic-management, calming or parking measures or other steps could be considered to improve things for the residents. This could be done “in a way that might take the edge off any perceived knock-on effects of the New Street changes”, he said. Ms Byrne had made some “totally doable” suggestions in this regard which were common practice in places such as the Netherlands “but then one can give Dutch examples for most good urban design”, land use and probably a lot of other things, he said. The “trade off” approach to mitigate impacts on Old Street residents from “revelry on the pedestrianised New Street shouldn’t be completely impossible at least to some extent”, he said. “Some form of planning gain for Old Street might go a little way towards assuaging some of the by no means wholly unreasonable concerns articulated by the applicant [Ms Byrne] if the pedestrianisation of New Street does go ahead as proposed,” he said.

It had been blocking the footpath like this since at least 25 October A spokesperson for Fingal County Council says the fence is on the Department of Education’s property and the school is responsible for repairing it And the school says it’s the council’s responsibility On 11 February, a Fingal County Council spokesperson said property records suggest the fence is on school property they thought the school and the Department of Education would be in touch with each other regarding what is required to fix the fence A spokesperson for the Department of Education said that a broken fence is typically considered a maintenance issue Schools can cover the costs of maintenance and repairs using capitation funding “The department has not received an application for this case,” says the spokesperson On 18 February, a member of staff at Malahide Community School said they thought that it was the council’s issue “The Principal believes that the fence is on Fingal County Council land Maps on Tailte Éireann’s property records website landdirect.ie aren’t detailed enough to show whether the land owned by the Department of Education includes the strip between the footpath and the car park where the fence is rooted the website says the boundaries and plans there “aren’t conclusive” Asked to share the documents it was using to make its assessment of who was responsible for the fence, a council spokesperson said on 20 February that the college would seem to be the owner of the inner path with the fence over it “Fingal provides upkeep on the footpath that runs beside the R124” Fingal County Council didn’t respond to a query as to what happens if nobody takes ownership Fianna Fáil Councillor Cathal Haughey says “We just need to make someone take ownership of it Green Party Councillor David Healy said responsibilities often get passed around leaving members of the public to negotiate between different bodies which do not communicate directly with each other “It is definitely a council issue,” he said On 4 March, a spokesperson for the school said in an email that they had reported the issue to Fingal County Council in November 2024 and given follow-up information The school’s understanding is that it ceded control of the strip of land where the fence is supposed to be to the council when they got permission to build the current school building “We are currently in correspondence with Fingal County Council regarding our understanding and hope to get a resolution as soon as possible,” they said They can’t repair the fence until it’s sorted who is responsible But, “our Principal has instructed our caretakers to make the path passable again to the general public and this will happen tomorrow afternoon”.On Tuesday, it looked like that work had already begun.

A site with full planning permission for a small residential scheme has come to the market in the popular north Dublin seaside village of Malahide. The site, which extends to 1.08 ha (2.66 acres), has full planning permission for four three-bedroom terraced houses on part. It is available to purchase in lots, with a guide price of €2.95 million on the entire plot, and the selling agent is CBRE. Latest figures from the Central Statistics Office show that the median house price in Malahide (Eircode K36) was €600,000 in November 2024. The site is zoned “RS – Residential", and is currently occupied by a bungalow (Avondale), with a greenfield site to the rear. Permissible uses under this zoning objective include residential, residential care home/retirement home, retirement village and sheltered accommodation. Lot one includes the portion of the site with planning in place, extending to about 0.19ha (0.47 acres); lot two the rear of the site extending to about 0.89ha (2.19 acres); and lot three is the entire plot. Located about 1.2km south of Malahide Main Street, the site is bound by Seamount Road to the north, Mountfield Lodge to the east, residential dwellings to the north and Broomfield playing pitches to the south. The site is accessed via Seamount Road, and Malahide Dart station is about 1.4km from the site, offering frequent access to Dublin city centre. Malahide also offers excellent accessibility to Dublin Airport as well as the M1 and M50 motorways. Darragh Deasy of CBRE said: “The lands at Avondale offer a unique residential opportunity for potential purchasers in a prestigious north Dublin location. The site offers the potential to commence with an existing planning immediately, while also further developing the lands to the rear, subject to obtaining planning permission. We expect to see strong interest from a range of parties based on the current planning on the site and its proximity to Malahide village.” Fiona Reddan is a writer specialising in personal finance and is the Home & Design Editor of The Irish Times surrounded by her loving family in the wonderful care of the staff of Bon Secours hospital Predeceased by her adored parents Joe and Bernie 'Auntie Ann' will be very sadly missed by her many nieces all of whose lives were enriched by Ann's endless love Ann will be reposing at Stafford's Funeral Home Portmarnock on Wednesday afternoon 16th April from 4pm to 6pm Removal on Thursday morning 17th April to the Church of St Sylvester Malahide arriving for Funeral Mass at 10am followed by burial in St Fintan’s Cemetery The Funeral Mass will be streamed live Thursday morning at 10am via the following link St Sylvester's Church, Malahide CondolencesDonate to CharityWould you like to mark a birthday A man in his late 20s has been arrested in connection with the fatal assault of a man in his 60s in Malahide The incident happened at around 8.30am at a house in the Gainsborough Lawn area Gardaí said when they arrived at the house the man was unresponsive The scene has been preserved for examination by the garda technical bureau and gardaí have said they will be investigating all of the circumstances around the incident The man who was arrested is currently detained at a garda station in the Dublin area The body of the man has been removed from the scene The office of the State Pathologist has been notified and a post-mortem examination will be arranged It's understood the man in custody and the man who died were known to each other An incident room has been established at Malahide Garda Station and a senior investigating officer has been appointed to lead the inquiry A family liaison officer has also been assigned to support the family of the deceased We need your consent to load this rte-player contentWe use rte-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.

Funeral Service.css-h76uj{display:inherit;margin-right:-4px;margin-left:8px;}Cremation / BurialDate Published: Rip.ie, The Irish Times Building, 24-28 Tara Street, Dublin 2, Ireland After a break, the three-carriage road-train is back to doing its loop connecting the castle and the beach via the Dart station. Michael Place strode across the car park behind the Avoca store and cafe within the grounds of Malahide Castle on Friday afternoon. At the edge of the lot, the sign advertising his business, Toots, the Malahide Road Train, stood in a raised bed of soil. The digital countdown clock, which lets passers-by know when to expect the train, was switched off. It had been for some time. The sign needs a scrub, said Place, giving it a quick once-over. The board also had a picture of the three-carriage road-train, with two excited kids and the train driver poking their heads out the windows. Their faces are cut-out, so people can poke their own through. “Everything on that board screams family,” Place said. But Place hasn’t been able to take the train out around Malahide for a good while, he said, as he walked through the grounds of the castle and passed under a murder of crows cawing in a gargantuan oak tree. “Tomorrow will be six months since I surrendered that vehicle to the [Commercial Vehicles Roadworthiness Test],” he said. He had engine troubles, he said. “You’ve always got them. I’ve always got fixer-uppers.” But at last, he said, Toots was going to be back on the road. “I’ve got my lovely wife and daughter coming along to help with the clean-up. We’ll have it nice and pristine for tomorrow.” The Toots train and its three carriages were parked in a driveway just off the straight road that led into the grounds via Hogan’s Gate, a vacant lodge at the Malahide Road entrance. Its shiny red surface was covered in black splotches from the soot that piped out its chimney. The front was still decorated in red and white canes, from when he had brought it over to Limerick for Christmas. As he peeked into the carriage to determine what needed to be done, a pair of squirrels scuttled by, clambering up a cage filled with peacocks. He was waiting for the National Transport Authority (NTA) to renew his license and it was taking far longer than he would have liked. He was also concerned, he said, that Fingal County Council was going to tender for a new trackless train. In August 2024, Place had learned that the council’s Economic, Enterprise, Tourism and Cultural Development Department was intending to advertise a procurement for “outdoor novelty experiences” across the county. As he sees it, if another company took over the route, they might jack up the prices, he said. At €18 a ride for a family of four, his prices are lower than the two other major road-train services, in Kilkenny and Galway, he says. “We’re just looking after families here for affordability.” Then, a timely email landed in his inbox. The NTA had renewed his license, it read. And on Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for Fingal County Council said that they had no plans to tender for a trackless/land train contract. Sinn Féin TD Ann Graves said that a council official had confirmed that this wasn’t going to be happening. “They may be going to tender on other aspects of Malahide Castle, but his business is safe.” Magpies rattled loudly up in the trees around Malahide Dart station as Place turned the train into the car park on Sunday at lunchtime. It whistled a chirpy peep peep as he steered an amused family of four up next to the entrance to the platform. He made a quick phone call to a take-out in town. First order of 2025, he said, asking for two bags of chips and a box of chicken goujons. “I’ll be there in about 15 minutes.” Place started Toots in June 2013 after time working on both the Viking Splash and Paddy Wagon tours, he said. But the idea originated in his childhood, growing up in Ballymun, he says. On summery Saturday mornings, kids would gather at the local school hall, Place said, talking as he drove the train into the town centre. “It was for the summer projects, and your parents, if you were lucky’d give you 50p and you’d be able to sign up to three or four excursions via Dublin Bus,” he says. They would visit places like Sandymount, the Botanical Gardens, and Dublin Zoo, he said. “And in them days, they wouldn’t care how many people they’d take on the school buses. 50p for four or five return trips on buses, and sandwiches. That was world class.” Place parked outside Macari’s take-away. He ran across the road, and quickly back again, passing the bags of chips back to the passenger and bringing the box of goujons up to the front. He started the train back up with a lively “peep peep” and resumed the route, looping back to the Avoca car park, which was in a strikingly different mood from that on Friday. The carriages quickly filled. Parents asked how much. “How are ya mama, you want to come on board?” he said, as a woman asked whether they were allowed to bring dogs. Joggers. Jeep drivers. Excited kids. Folks going for a quick paddle down by the beach. Everybody, whether amused or confused, seemed to wave as the train passed – except for one stern young boy on a scooter. That is what keeps him in the whole thing, he said, returning the waves as he went about his loop, up around the castle grounds and down along the Coast Road. “The waving of those people,” he says. “If you’re ignoring that, you’re in the wrong place.” Michael Lanigan is a reporter at Dublin Inquirer.

Stephane Benz (29), a Swiss national, with an address at Gainsborough Lawns, Malahide, Co Dublin appeared before a special sitting of Dublin District Court at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Sunday afternoon. He wore a black hoodie and grey jeans. Det Garda Alan Roche, Malahide, told Judge Máire Conneelly he arrested Mr Benz at 1.37am on Sunday at Coolock Garda station for purpose of charge and was present when he was charged at 1.57am. He was later present at 10.20am when Mr Benz was charged with the murder of Urz Benz (62) at Gainsborough Lawns on February 8th 2025, an earlier manslaughter charge sheet having been withdrawn, Det Gda Roche said. Mr Benz made no reply after caution, he said. Solicitor Michael O’Connor, for Mr Benz, said because the charge was murder, there could not be an application for bail before the District Court. He asked the judge to return the matter before the High Court bail sittings at Cloverhill on Wednesday. He also asked that a psychiatric evaluation be ordered and said his client is a suitable candidate for legal aid. Judge Connelly returned the matter to Cloverhill court on Wednesday and remanded Mr Benz in custody. She was told a statement of means will be filed for a legal aid application.

scoring against Malahide United at Oriel Park Ciaran Kilduff’s reign as Dundalk FC manager got off to a flyer after The Lilywhites recorded an easy 4-0 win over Malahide United in the PTSB Leinster Senior Cup First-half goals from Daryl Horgan and Dean Ebbe put Dundalk in control at Oriel Park while Aodh Dervin and Aidan Russell completed the rout in the second period The Lilywhites had their first attempt on eight minutes when 17-year-old Andy Paraschiv – a new signing from Glebe North – had a header easily saved by Brian Kane the first goal of the Ciaran Kilduff era arrived through new skipper Horgan who after a quick attack got himself away from full-back James Hendricken before delightfully lifting the ball over the advancing Malahide goalkeeper Kane with Mayowa Animasahun having a header comfortably kept out by Kane after the ball had been hooked into the box by Leo Gaxha Right-back Conor O’Keeffe played vice-captain Dervin down the right and his cross was turned over at close range by the inrushing Eoin Kenny A lovely exchange between Gaxha and Ebbe in the danger area would have resulted in Kenny making it 2-0 – only for what was an excellent last-ditch tackle by Gavin Murphy when some excellent hold-up play from Kenny allowed Gaxha to then play it in for striker Ebbe to finish from close range it could have been three for Kilduff’s side before the half-time break with Gaxha’s cross from the right finding Ebbe but The Lilywhites wouldn’t have to wait too long to make the game safe and score their third of the night It came on 52 minutes when Kenny capitalised from some slack Malahide defending before assisting for Dervin who slotted under Kane to score his first-ever Dundalk goal In what was a comfortable first outing in the dugout for Kilduff his side looked to add further gloss to the scoreline however Kenny’s daisy-cutter wasn’t troubling Kane while Horgan had a similar attempt fly off target not long afterwards Malahide midfielder Shane Day’s shot from distance on 66 minutes was the Leinster Senior League side’s only effort throughout their visit to Oriel youngster Muhammad Haris was twice denied by Kane a goal on his senior debut while Malahide defender Cormac Moussally also cleared off the line Dundalk were awarded a penalty after Murphy had committed an offence inside the area and although Russell’s spot-kick was saved by the busy Kane the Dominican Republic U20 international scored from the rebound to make it 4-0 Andy Paraschiv (Harry Groome HT); Leo Gaxha Daryl Horgan (Aidan Russell 77); Dean Ebbe (Gbemi Arubi HT) James Hendricken (Cormac Moussally HT); Robbie Byrne (Darragh Vallely 82) Nathan Reilly; Karl Sheppard; Alan O’Shaughnessy " + $(".testo_articolo").html().replace(//g please subscribe and support

Ganson Building and Civil Engineering Contractors, of Balbriggan Business Park, Co Dublin, pleaded guilty to two counts in relation to the workplace accident that occurred at St Oliver Plunkett National School in Malahide on June 3rd, 2019. John Joe McAfee was killed instantly when a steel structure fell on to the mobile platform he was standing on at the site, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard. A director of Ganson previously pleaded guilty on the company’s behalf to one count of failing to ensure employees were not exposed to risk and one count of failing to co-ordinate arrangements to check the implementation of safe working procedures. The maximum fine for these offences is €3 million, the court heard. A number of other defendants remain before the courts in relation to the incident. An inspector with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) told Kieran Kelly BL, prosecuting, that Ganson won the tender to carry out building works at the school. It subcontracted the work to various entities, one of which, in turn, subcontracted work to Mr McAfee’s company. The court heard that Mr McAfee and some of his employees were erecting steel structures according to a design they had been supplied with. A number of steel frames and columns had been erected, but they were unstable and not anchored correctly, causing one to fall on Mr McAfee’s platform. The court heard a site engineer who should have been on-site to supervise this work had left at midday despite being contracted to be present. The court heard a representative from Ganson later told the HSA that had the company been present on the site, it would have stopped the work. The court heard victim impact statements from Mr McAfee’s family, which described their devastation over his death. He was remembered as a loving partner, father and grandfather who worked seven days a week to provide for his family. Shane Murphy SC, for Ganson, read out a brief statement from the company, extending its apologies to the family for its “role in the untimely death of John Joe McAfee”. “The company apologises unreservedly for the sorrow and distress caused to them by his tragic death.” Judge Martin Nolan said that as the main contractor on the site, it was Ganson’s “obligation” to make it was safe and that its contractors and subcontractors were up to the task. The judge took into account a number of mitigating factors, including the guilty pleas, co-operation and expressions of remorse, and handed down a fine of €250,000 to be paid within six months. The judge extended his “greatest sympathies” to the family of Mr McAfee. This article is 7 months oldAddress: 8 The Tides, Coast Road, Malahide, Co DublinPrice: €1,750,000 Agent: Sherry FitzGeraldThe last apartment at The Tides in Malahide is now for sale. The high-end development, on the site of the old Oscar Taylor’s restaurant and Island View hotel complex, was first brought to market in summer 2023. Developers October Investments worked hard to create something special at this coastal location. The footprint would have allowed for up to 18 apartments, but company director David Daly and his son Paul were more interested in quality over quantity. With architects Niall Brennan and Jude O’Loughlin on board, it was decided that they would build just nine apartments that would be aimed at empty nesters who were looking to trade down. “We thought of all the obstacles this cohort might face and removed them,” says Paul Daly. “We wanted their lives in their new homes to be as stress-free as possible.” They appear to have achieved just that. Nothing has been overlooked. Potential buyers may have their interest piqued by the village location or the sea views, but it’s the seemingly small details that have been winning them over. From the minute you walk through the communal front door, there’s a feel of five-star hotel about the place. The blues and greys on the walls and plush carpets were chosen by interior designer Sara Cosgrove to mirror the landscape outside. There is a lift to every floor, and each apartment has a bronze number plate with a customised anchor design. Where most new builds have their heat pumps on display on their balconies or gardens, The Tides has a designated room in the basement that houses each apartment’s unit. To avoid clutter in the living spaces, each home has its own storage room downstairs that would be similar in size to a small shed, and ideal for Christmas decorations, grandchildren’s toys, golf clubs and bicycles. There is also a comms room where all TV and streaming services are wired into, so that there is no need for satellite dishes or cables running through the living areas. Security was one of the priorities, according to Daly. Each apartment has a video intercom entry system, with the first buzzer at the outside gate, and then another at the front door to the building, meaning there are two points of defence before anyone even gets to your front door. Number 8, a three-bed, three-bath apartment on the second floor, is for sale with Sherry FitzGerald, seeking €1.75 million. It was the show apartment, so whoever buys it will benefit from the full Sara Cosgrove treatment. The bedrooms are all doubles. Two are en suites with balconies that run the width of the apartment to join up with the living areas. The master bedroom is a horseshoe shape, with the wardrobes and the bathroom behind the bed. The living space is open-plan and dual-aspect with engineered oak floors. The kitchen is by Nolans and comes with plenty of storage, as well as an island with “room for knees”, and a cascading marble worktop. Each apartment comes with two parking spaces, one with an EV-charging point, as well as access to the large, landscaped garden. Malahide Strand is right in front of the development, with a vista out to the Island Golf Club and Lambay. It is this very piece of coastline that influenced the work of painter Nathaniel Hone the Younger more than 100 years ago. Its ability to evoke awe remains strong a century on. Rail engineering works are set to take place between Clontarf Road and Newry on Saturday DART services will be limited during these dates DART services will operate only between Connolly and Bray/Greystones staions with no services running between Connolly and Howth / Malahide Laytown and Gormanston stations will be closed for the duration of the works Northern Commuter and Belfast Enterprise services will also be affected These essential works include track renewal all aimed at improving the reliability and safety of the network Passengers are advised to check timetables in advance and plan their journeys accordingly For more information on these planned engineering works, please consult the Irish Rail website With the luxury of coastal living, where new owners can hop across the road for a morning dip or walk, the offering includes four three-bedroom duplex apartments. These units, set on ground and lower ground floors, extend from 115sq m (1,238sq ft) to 122sq m (1,313sq ft) and are priced from €1.05 million to €1.95 million. In addition there are five two-bedroom apartments measuring between 83sq m (893sq ft) and 105sq m (1,130sq ft), ranging in price from €825,000 to €1.15 million. With an open-plan layout, each unit has a private balcony while large picture windows allow wide-reaching uninterrupted views of Lambay Island and the Irish Sea. All units within the contemporarily designed block have engineered hardwood flooring, separate utility rooms in addition to the Alwood by Alfred Briggs kitchens, with a combination of Corian and quartz countertops and Neff appliances, while Quooker taps add the convenience of never having to boil a kettle again. Bathrooms have Roca, Grohe and Tesi sanitary ware, and all units have a Ber of A3, thanks to state-of-the-art heat pumps, mechanical ventilation recovery units, Aluclad triple-glazed Nordan windows, solar panels and excellent insulation. The apartments and duplexes, which overlook Malahide Beach, have generous ceiling heights of 2.7m in kitchens, livingrooms and bedrooms. There are 13 parking spaces on site, so there’s a space for each apartment with a few left over for communal use. In addition to the nine apartments is the substantial five-bedroom Robswall House to the left of the apartment block in the photograph. It extends to a considerable 335sq m (3,606sq ft) and is priced at €3.45 million. Being inverted, whereby all five bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, allows for stunning views from the two livingrooms and the balcony upstairs. Much like the apartments, it will be the coastal access to a long sandy beach and sea swims that will interest buyers, along with the proximity to popular restaurants and scenic waterfront paths in the affluent coastal village of Malahide.
