Councillors representing the southeast of Dublin city have clashed over the future of the Strand Road cycleway in Sandymount
following last Friday’s court ruling which enabled its development
in a case taken by Independent councillor Mannix Flynn and Peter Carvill of the Serpentine Avenue
that the council should have obtained planning permission to run the trial
The Court of Appeal determined this was an error and the council could have implemented the measure using its own powers under the Road Traffic Act
involved replacing a lane of traffic with a two-lane cycle path
This would result in a one-way traffic system with cars allowed to travel southbound only as far as the Merrion Gates
At a meeting of the council’s southeast area committee on Monday
newly co-opted Fine Gael councillor David Coffey put forward a motion that “all active travel measures for the Strand Road should be done in tandem with the Sandymount Flood Relief project with the aim of delivering an off-road cycleway”
Council officials had previously rejected this option in part because the flood defence work will not be completed before 2030
Cllr Coffey said he was a cyclist himself and he supported the work the council had done developing cycle infrastructure “where appropriate and in the right areas”
he said: “I do not support a one-way solution on the Strand Road.” The area was “gridlocked at the moment as it is”
Cllr Flynn said he hoped and had confidence “Dublin City Council won’t railroad this along”
“opportunities to go to the Supreme Court” or to the European courts
but he said these were “situations I don’t particularly want to go down”
He added that it was “very immature for the Dublin Cycling Campaign to go out gloating on the day of the judgment down around Sandymount”
Cyclists gathered on Strand Road on Friday evening to celebrate the court decision
[ Sandymount cycle path decision frees council from weeds of lengthy planning processOpens in new window ]
Green Party councillor Hazel Chu noted the flood defence scheme was only in its early stages. “The flood defences won’t happen for at least another five years, then we’re waiting another five years, having waited already five years,” she said. “Why are we willing to wait so long to provide for more sustainable travel?”
Green Party councillor Carolyn Moore, said she found the motion “incredibly cynical” as incorporating cycling infrastructure into the flood works “would see it go back on the long finger for possibly the guts of a decade”, she said.
“The reality is a lot of people who don’t feel safe cycling in the area are taking short cyclable journeys in their cars, and that’s what’s contributing to the traffic situation there.”
Labour councillor Dermot Lacey, who chairs the committee, said it would be surprising if the committee didn’t discuss the court’s decision but he was recommending against voting on the motion.
“I feel like we’re back in the civil war that divided the area,” Cllr Lacey said.
He said there had been an unnecessary clash between council officials at the time and the local community.
“The voices of leafy Dublin 4 were set against officialdom and officialdom wasn’t going to be beaten by the leafy residents of Dublin 4, and I think that’s how it mushroomed into the big issue.”
Claire French, senior executive engineer, told the meeting the flood relief scheme was at “a very, very early stage”. “You’re talking five to 10 years minimum before you see anything there,” she said. The design brief for the flood scheme did not include cycling infrastructure, she added. The council’s traffic and engineering department needed time to digest the judgment before coming back with further suggestions, she said.

The Strand Road plan would have turned what is currently a two-way vehicular stretch of road along the coast into a single outbound lane with the other lane used as a two-way cycle track. File picture: Eddie O'Hare
The Court of Appeal has found the High Court
had erred in finding that it was to be introduced on a temporary basis and in finding that environmental impact assessment (EIA) or appropriate assessment (AA) should first have been carried out
The three-judge court also found the High Court was wrong to hold there were fundamental flaws in the screening for EIA and for AA and also wrong to hold that an EIA
an AA and planning permission were required for the scheme
The court said that while it was most unfortunate and very likely to have significant cost implications
the city council’s belated disclosure of the existence of the relevant decision providing for the commencement of the scheme and of the cancellation of the the relevant order did not preclude the council from maintaining its appeal whether on the grounds of mootness or on the grounds of a breach by the city council of its duty of candour
While the Court of Appeal found the council was in breach of its duty of candour
it accepted that the breach was inadvertent and the relevant official has apologised to the court
that the council must succeed in its appeal,” the court said
It also dismissed a cross-appeal by Cllr Mannix Flynn
the High Court quashed the council’s scheme finding
The Strand Road plan would have turned what is currently a two-way vehicular stretch of road along the coast into a single outbound lane with the other lane used as a two-way cycle track
It would require the removal of a traffic island at the junction of Strand Road and Merrion Road
as well as the removal of some mini-roundabouts and the installation of bollards
The council appealed the High Court ruling in favour of local independent councillor Mannix Flynn and Sandymount resident Peter Carvill

The extension has barely been started, but the sale comes with plans and some high-quality materials
The interior has been largely gutter, but electrics and windows have been fitted.
Niall TonerFri 24 Jan 2025 at 03:3024 Bath Avenue Gardens, Sandymount, Dublin 4
What it is: Potentially, this is a large, modern family home in one of the capital’s more upmarket neighbourhoods. It is also a building site.
Tell me more: The owners began a serious refurbishment and extension project on this two-bed before the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020, but were forced to down tools once the lockdowns started and were not in a position to resume working on the house again once the restrictions lifted.
The property is now seeking new project managers who aspire to Dublin 4 living but are willing to go through eight or nine months of construction work first.
The bad news? You’ll have roll up your sleeves even to view the online brochure.
The existing house has been more or less gutted and partially renovated. The new extension is barely off the plans, and currently looks a bit sad. Some of the walls have been partially constructed, but there is some way to go.
Finding a contractor to carry out the rest of the work someone else has started may be the hardest part of the job for anybody who is in a position to raise the finances.
The good news? The plans and drawings come as part of the deal. The existing house has been rewired and replastered, and the windows have been replaced.
There might even be an option of a phased development, where the existing house could be finished before the extension – subject to inspection by the relevant professionals to confirm if this is a possibility.
In addition to the plans, the property comes with a substantial quantity of building materials already on site.
How much to buy it? The asking price is €795,000.
And to fix it up? If you bought this and were looking for the requisite level of D4-ness in the finish, you should probably be prepared to spend in the region of €400,000 on top of your purchase price. If you happen to be a builder, you could probably do it for closer to €250,000.
What will I end up with? A three bedroom detached home in one of the capital’s most aspirational neighbourhoods, with a modern, architect-designed extension, created to take advantage of the site’s aspect and maximise natural light. The property is within walking distance of the city centre and docklands, and well-connected with public transport.
Who should I talk to? An agent from Sherry FitzGerald will be happy to don the hard hat and guide you through the details.

Dublin City Council has won an appeal over the quashing of the Sandymount cycleway project
The installation of a cycle path on Strand Road in the south Dublin suburb can go ahead
following the council’s successful appeal of a High Court judgment that stopped its implementation
The Court of Appeal has found the High Court
had erred in finding that it was not to be introduced on a temporary basis and in finding that an environmental-impact assessment or appropriate assessment should first have been carried out
The three-judge court also found the High Court was wrong to hold there were fundamental flaws in the screening for the environmental assessments and also wrong to hold that planning permission was required for the scheme
the appeal court found the council had breached its “duty of candour” in not disclosing to the High Court when certain decisions in relation to the project were made
but it accepted that the breach was inadvertent and the relevant official has apologised to the court
It also dismissed a cross appeal by the Independent councillor Mannix Flynn
took the High Court challenge against the council’s plans to conduct a trial of the path for six months from March 2021
Mr Justice Charles Meenan ruled in July 2021 that the proposed cycleway must be subject to an environmental-impact assessment and
He made a finding that the cycleway would not
The council appealed the High Court ruling
with the Court of Appeal now finding in the council’s favour
In a statement after the hearing the council said it was “happy with the outcome and will now review the judgment in full before informing the public in due course of the next steps”
Tritonville and Claremont Roads group in a statement urged the council to “have a forthright and open consultation with the local community before proceeding with any road closures” and said: “Our only concern when pursuing this action was the dangerous and destructive effect of diverting high volumes of traffic through our small village streets.”
Mr Flynn said he hoped lessons would be learned
“I’m very proud of standing up and I’m very proud of the community
I hope now that things can be done with this experience in a better way.”
Cllr Flynn said the local community wanted a cycle path but not where the council “decided to shove it” because that would send traffic into the Sandymount village area
He disagreed that the council now has “free rein to do what they want” thanks to the court decision
you can be very active as a community,” he said
The community should be included in the process and not have something “shoved down their throats”
who also attended the Court of Appeal for the judgment
She said the case was about sustainable transport around the city and the country
In the past couple of years since this case was in court
there had been “a chilling effect” on active travel across the city and country
“I am hoping now that will be lifted and that there is now going to be ambition when it comes to various projects.”

When the owners bought Merton about 30 years ago, it was in need of updating. Ceiling coving and centre roses were repaired, flooring was restored and interior decor revitalised, and a beautiful magnolia tree was planted in the railed front garden.
For several years, while living in Killiney, the owners rented Merton out. They moved back to Merton a few years ago and recently installed a new bathroom.
Granite steps in the front garden lead up to a front door with fan light and into a wide, carpeted entrance hall with coving and dado rail. To the right is a large livingroom measuring 5.6m by 4.5m with wooden floor, ceiling coving, centre rose and dado rail, marble fireplace with open fire and two large sash windows looking out over the green.
You can see the castellated walls of the old Sandymount Castle, which have been incorporated into a number of luxury houses overlooking the green. One of those houses, Castleville, former home to the writer Frank O’Connor, has been modernised to a high standard and was sold in January for €3.8 million.
Through an inner hall with shelving is the diningroom, which overlooks the back garden and has a wooden floor, ceiling coving, centre rose, dado rail and cast-iron fireplace. It has also got a feature alcove that adds character to the room. To the back is a cosy kitchen/breakfastroom with wooden floor, wooden units, built-in wine rack, integrated oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge.
Another feature alcove overlooks the stairs leading down to garden level. Here is a long lower hall with lots of storage presses and a bespoke built-in desk area for home working. The large main bedroom looks out to the front and has a wooden floor, open fire with wooden surround and built-in wardrobes. The bedroom to the back has carpet and coving, plus a hot press and built-in storage with hanging space.
The bathroom has tiled walls and floor, shelving units, shower and separate free-standing bath. Also on garden level is a utility room with freezer and washing machine, and a handy boot room opening to the back garden, with tiled floor and storage.
To the back is a low-maintenance paved back garden with mature trees and shrubs. A wide side passage offers scope for extra storage space. There is off-street parking for one car to the front and owners have designated on-street parking space for one car.
A couple of doors down, at number 15d, is Hillview House, a commercial premises that is home to Shinawil, the film and television production company behind Dancing with the Stars. Number 15d was the subject of a planning application to build a mixed-use development comprising four apartments, a cafe and offices, which was refused in August 2024.
Merton is a few doors down from the long-established Browne’s Kitchen, and Sandymount village has an abundance of shops, boutiques, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The Dart station at Sandymount is a seven-minute walk, Sandymount Strand is also close by and there are many schools in the area.

the castle was originally home to the Corbett family who were Dublin merchants
It was later broken up into separate dwellings
with writer Frank O’Connor living at Castleville at one point
This two-storey property is still attached to the house next door with both retaining the castellated battlements and the arched sash windows
The current owners bought Castleville in 2015 for €1.675 million
It was a brave purchase at the time as the then pink property was in dire need of a makeover
the owners called Extend Architects to help them come up with a layout that would respect the property’s origins

To the left of the hallway is a bedroom with en suite bathroom
which is the only room on this level that doesn’t connect with another through steps or glass
Beside this is what would have been the drawingroom but is now a cinema room that has the original cast-iron fireplace and ceiling detail
but also comes with a surround-sound system with integrated speakers in both the walls and ceiling
It also has doors out to an internal courtyard
which links with the kitchen at the back of the house

The main staircase in the hall also brings you to this first floor. Here there are two double bedrooms, both with separate dressingroom areas and en suite bathrooms.
The principal bedroom has a balcony overlooking the back garden and a generous dressingroom with built-in wardrobes and an island unit, as well as a large en suite shower room.
The renovation at Castleville was daring and lavish, as the castle was gently led into the 21st century with careful consideration at every turn, allowing it to remain an important part of Sandymount’s architecture.

Park Court is a quiet development built in the 1980s off Park Avenue in Sandymount. It is laid out around a series of terraces and courtyards that are made up of mostly two-storey townhouses
Number 32 is on the market through DNG with an asking price of €625,000
It has undergone not one but two transformations since its inception in 1987
two-storey terraced home is now a one-bedroom property with a study
After living in the property for nearly a decade
the owner felt like she wasn’t fully utilising the space
The spare bedroom was exactly that – a spare room
under the watchful eye of architect Martin Noone
the first renovation took place 27 years ago
and a mezzanine level was introduced to create an extra living space where the second bedroom would have been
A metal staircase was also installed on the landing to lead up to a small
And this is how the house remained until seven years ago
Moving the kitchen to the front of the house was always something the owner wanted to do to make the most of the light
Architect Brian O’Donoghue oversaw the second renovation
where the kitchen was moved to the other end of the house
a cute American-style garden room was custom-made and installed to act as a utility and storage shed
The house now has a floor area of 78sq m (840sq ft) and is standing to attention
Behind the front door is a small hall that leads straight into the kitchen
The units and breakfast bar are from Kitchen Space
A decorative extractor fan and balloon pendant lights add to the personality of the bright room
[ Split-level Donnybrook cottage in walk-in condition for €695,000Opens in new window ]
The living/diningroom is at the back of the house, with floor-to-ceiling patio doors and overhead rooflights flooding the room with natural light. The mezzanine, which overlooks the living space, is used as a cosy TV room, with the wood-burning stove heating all areas.
Upstairs is the bedroom and access to the mezzanine space. Off the landing is the study, which is fitted with bookcases and a desk.
The introduction of colour in the house through furnishings and fittings is down to the designers at Silver River Interiors, who have been an integral part of the process at number 32. Where the owner may have had doubts, they encouraged her to take a chance with bolder choices like the blue wall in the kitchen and orange sink in the bathroom.
Even with the addition of the garden room, there is still plenty of space for a patio and barbecue area in the south-facing back garden.
This home has a C2 energy rating and uses gas-fired central heating. It has everything a young professional or couple would need – the quiet office space, two separate living areas and a Dublin 4 location.
Sandymount village and strand are a few minutes away on foot, as is the Dart station. For sports enthusiasts, the Railway Union Sports Club and Pembroke Cricket Club are both just off Park Avenue, while Pembroke Wanderers Hockey Club and Lansdowne FC are a 10-minute walk in the other direction.
For the owner, one of the best things about the location is the proximity of the Aviva Stadium, with match days and concert nights bringing a great buzz to the area.
It is almost five years since Dublin City Council announced plans to install a cycle path on Strand Road in Sandymount as part of its Covid-19 mobility measures
and all hell broke loose in the south Dublin suburb
On Friday the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court judgment that had blocked the implementation of the six-month trial of the path on the coastal road
in a case taken by a local resident and a city councillor
The Court of Appeal has now determined this was an error and the council could have implemented the measure using its own powers under the Road Traffic Act
This means the council can now go ahead with a cycle path on the road
It is not yet certain the council will take this step
but the court’s decision confirms a far more fundamental principle relating to the council’s powers to implement such traffic measures without getting into the weeds of a lengthy planning process
The council proposed implementing the measure for a six-month trial and undertook a public consultation process in the autumn of 2020
with 56 per cent “strongly in favour of proceeding with the trial”
Just over one-quarter (27 per cent) objected to the trial
while 17 per cent stated they had some concerns
largely relating to the displacement of traffic
some local residents felt their views had not been adequately considered and the council began an additional consultation process with these groups
including consideration of an alternative plan put forward by the STC Community Group
Claremont and adjoining roads in Sandymount
[ Sandymount residents urge rethink on cycle plansOpens in new window ]
Council officials determined this alternative plan was not feasible and in February 2021 announced the trial would start in March
Residents who remained resistant to the move said the measure should go through the planning process but the council said the cycle path was exempt from planning permission
The council had engaged independent consultants who confirmed there was no requirement for environmental assessments that could trigger an application to An Bord Pleanála
[ Sandymount cycleway can go ahead after Dublin City Council wins court appealOpens in new window ]
It was this divergence of opinion that triggered High Court action by Peter Carvill of the STC group and Independent councillor Mannix Flynn.
Mr Justice Charles Meenan ruled in July 2021 that the proposed cycleway must be subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment and, therefore, must go through the planning process.
He made a finding that the cycleway would not, in fact, be temporary, as the council had submitted.
The council appealed the decision. Owen Keegan, then council chief executive, said at the time the ruling could have “devastating consequences” for the development of cycling infrastructure with the potential that even “modest” interventions to protect cyclists would incur significant costs, delays and workload.
The two-day appeal hearing took place in June 2022 and in February 2023 the court reserved its decision, until now. The appeal court has found the High Court erred in finding the scheme required planning permission. The council can therefore use its own powers to deploy the cycleway, if it so chooses. The council said it is “happy with the outcome and will now review the judgment in full before informing the public in due course of the next steps”.
More importantly, the spectre of having to seek planning permission for any similar cycling measures, or even traffic calming initiatives such as pedestrian crossings, has dissolved.

It extends to 147sq m (1,582sq ft) and has interconnecting reception rooms in the form of a drawingroom and diningroom off the front hallway, both of which retain original pine flooring.
There is a large kitchen/breakfastroom to the rear, and beyond is a sunroom that opens out to the back garden through double doors.
There is also a long storage unit running parallel to the house, kitted out with shelving and electricity points, which was once part of the main house.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a hot press. The bedrooms are all good-sized doubles and each one has two large windows.
As the kitchen is somewhat outdated and the Ber is D2, the property could do with an upgrade, but it retains the bones of a fine Edwardian house with super detailing such as pine flooring, marble fireplaces, tall ceilings and wonderful stained-glass detailing throughout.
Current owners had plans to extend, so there is planning permission in place (granted in November 2023) to demolish the shed to the side and construct a new single-storey extension to the rear, which would add an additional 36sq m. Permission also allows more space in the attic – as it now has permission for conversion – along with the addition of a new flat-roof dormer and Velux roof light to a design by architectural company Richard McGrath & Son.
To the front is a landscaped garden with neat box hedging, a parking bay and lots of on-street parking with residential disc parking available from Dublin City Council.
The rear garden is totally enclosed, has side access and a spacious patio surrounded by mature trees and lawn.

the development will consist of 112 luxury apartments with added extras
These will come in the form of a movie room
co-working spaces and a courtyard with a maze and an outdoor chess table
The developer, the Royalton Group, comes to this project with a lot of experience in exclusive schemes with the likes of Putney Plaza in London and Cotton Quay in Salford in its portfolio. Closer to home Royalton’s work can also be seen at Hamilton Gardens in Dublin 7, where the onsite amenities are also a big feature.
Shore Club is situated on Beach Road, with the strand on the doorstep and the city centre just a walk away.
The first phase of 35 apartments was launched last month, with sales already agreed on several units. Interest has been coming from a variety of buyers, including professionals who like the idea of walking to work, remote workers, and locals looking to downsize. The fact that there is a concierge is attracting people who travel a lot, and it also gives peace of mind to parents who are investing in an apartment so their children have somewhere to live while studying in Dublin.
In this release there are one-beds that range in size from 50sq m (538sq ft) to 60sq m (646sq ft) and are priced from €515,000 to €575,000. The two-beds have a floor area of 77.1sq m (829sq ft) to 86.3sq m (929sq ft), with prices going from €735,000 to €915,000.
The exterior of the building is classic redbrick with more contemporary-style balconies.
Each apartment has an open-plan living space with fitted kitchens and a separate utility room. The large windows and balconies help create light-filled rooms that will be finished in neutral tones. The main bedroom in the two-bed units is en suite and there is also a second bathroom.
The building has a dedicated 4GB fibre internet connection with a fully managed wifi network for residents both in the communal spaces and in the apartments, so there is no need to set up or pay for separate internet services.
A parking space is not included in the price but it is possible to purchase one with some of the apartments, and there are EV charging stations on site for residents’ use.
Having your own car is not necessary, however, as there is the option for residents to use the Lexus NX plug-in hybrid cars available on site.
There will also be space allocated for the storage of 238 bikes, with 28 on surface level and 210 in the basement.
Construction at the development is on schedule and expected to be completed by early to mid-January 2025, with buyers due to move in shortly after.
Interested parties can schedule a Saturday viewing of the show unit through Knight Frank New Homes.
More than 20 years ago, in 2002, Dublin was hit by extreme tidal flooding with more than 1,100 properties inundated.
It was an event that took the capital by surprise, as the last serious sea flood had occurred exactly 80 years earlier in 1922.
Many of the flooded properties were in the southeast of the city and Dublin City Council determined new flood defences were required to protect more than 1,000 homes in Sandymount.
Their construction has been delayed several times since and, while interim measures have been put in place, in 2023 the council announced the defences needed to be redesigned to take into account higher waves and sea levels.
A contract to design the Sandymount flood defence scheme was finally awarded to engineers Jacobs last December with an “emerging option” expected by the end of 2026. But the defences are not expected to be completed until 2032.
Meanwhile, residents have been left not only worrying about risks to their homes but paying in some cases astronomical insurance premiums.
One householder who has lived in the same house in Sandymount for 40 years remembers some houses on her road flooded in 2002, though her own home escaped. Her insurance premiums remained unaffected at the time and didn’t rise for many years afterwards. She declined to be named but was happy to share her experience of rising insurance costs to match the increased risk from living so close to rising seas.
In about 2018 her quote doubled from just over €400 to about €800 – and, crucially, this excluded flood cover. Eventually, after much shopping around, she got insurance that included flood risk at a cost of €1,200.
“The year before last it went to €1,700, then we were told they were pulling out of the market. We had to start searching again and it was very, very hard to get quotes. But we felt we couldn’t do without flood cover; I mean, if your house is flooded that costs huge money,” says the resident.
She managed to source two quotes: “One for €3,500 and another for €4,500. Even with that, we had to get a letter of comfort from Dublin City Council.”
The council provides letters that detail the flood risk for a particular property and any remedial flood alleviation work completed, which insurers accept as part of their determination process.
She does not expect her premiums to reduce, despite the promise of future flood defence schemes. And she says her family’s ability to pay will have to be considered in the future.
“We will keep paying it while we can, for peace of mind. When you hear there’s a storm coming in or high tides, even though we’ve never been affected, you do worry. I don’t think I’d sleep at night if I didn’t have it. But we’re both retired and the time may come when we just can’t afford it,” she says.
Another resident, a newcomer to Sandymount, last year found himself faced with a stark choice: pay €3,000 for insurance or lose the house he was in the process of buying.
“When we first went sale agreed on the house, we didn’t know the extent to which the big insurers have pulled back from the market in terms of flood insurance. We needed the insurance to draw down the mortgage and it got to the stage where we were on the verge of pulling out because we couldn’t get any,” he says.
He began knocking on what, he hoped, would be his new neighbour’s doors to ask who they used for insurance.
“It seems like people used to have flood insurance and then a lot of the insurers just one day says they weren’t doing flood any more. People who didn’t have mortgages, some of them were doing without flood cover,” he says.
“These are people who have been there for 20-plus years and they’ve never been flooded and they couldn’t remember a time when there was flooding. People who did have it all seemed to be with the same provider.”
Through this word-of-mouth process and contacting numerous brokers he did eventually get a quote, but it was not what he had hoped.
“We had thought, ‘this is annoying, we’re going to have to pay up a bit, maybe €800 instead of €400, something like that’. But we thought, ‘it’s a nice area and this is just the cost of living in a coastal zone’. Then I got this eventual quote of €3,000. It sounded ridiculous,” he says.
Part of his surprise was because he was moving to Sandymount from another coastal community, East Wall, just on the opposite side of Dublin Bay, where his home insurance, including flood cover was about €400.
“We never imagined the difference would be anything like that, but we were so far down the line, and it had been a lengthy process to get the house, and we just didn’t want to give it all up,” he says.
“We have been told that the no-claims bonus does start to kick in, and maybe after five years it might be half what we’re paying now, but at the moment we’re viewing it as the cost of living in the area.”
James Burke, an insurance broker who also lives in Sandymount, says the costs of insurance, and the number of insurers willing to provide flood cover, can vary considerably in the area.
“Sandymount would be a little bit unusual because the premiums people are paying would typically be quite high because the building sums are quite high,” he says.
“Typically in a flood risk area you could see a 50 to 75 per cent increase in your premium and a €2,500 excess on the policy for flood, whereas a standard policy might have a €350 or €500 excess.”
In terms of access to providers, Burke says some general insurers continue to provide flood cover to certain households.
“You will find properties that are in flood areas within Sandymount or Irishtown or Ringsend where the insurers are still keeping the covers in place and haven’t withdrawn them.”
However, new buyers will frequently find themselves rejected by the well-known insurers and that’s where a broker such as Dolmen can step in to organise cover, Burke says.
“I don’t recall coming across the property in Sandymount that we haven’t been able to insure. Yes, it can be a considerable extra cost every year, but it means that you’re able to buy the house,” he says.
The resolution to this problem doesn’t lie with the insurance sector, Burke says, but in the State adequately addressing the flooding risk.
“The solution is not for the insurers to be paying out three times a year for flood on a particular property; it’s for the local authorities to fix the flood problem. Items that are personal to you will never be replaced by somebody from an insurance company writing a cheque.”
Sandymount is one of the most vulnerable areas in the city to coastal flooding
Dublin City Council (DCC) has awarded a contract to design a Flood Defence Scheme in Sandymount
20 years since the measures were first recommended
Jacobs Engineering has been appointed to design flood defences to protect over 1,000 homes in the area from rising sea levels
The council has had plans for this project in place since 2002
but said the increasing sea levels and higher wave heights necessitated a complete redesign of the long-awaited project
it was announced that flood defences would be introduced along the Sutton to Sandycove (S2S) cycleway
While work began on the north side of Dublin Bay
no progress has yet been made in Sandymount
the Sandymount and Merrion Residents Association (SAMRA) has welcomed the latest news as a “step forward” in addressing the significant risk to homes in the area
“SAMRA looks forward to supporting this work and ensuring the final design reflects the interests of local residents,” a spokesperson said
“It urges that the project moves forward with urgency and the construction phase begins as soon as possible.”
The contract includes a “comprehensive study” of the risks posed to the Sandymount community one of the most vulnerable areas in the city from both coastal and pluvial flooding
“I am pleased to announce this morning that Dublin City Council has awarded a contract to Jacobs to design the Sandymount Flood Defence Scheme,” said the Lord Mayor of Dublin
Plans for the Sandymount Coastal Flood Defence Scheme were first outlined in 2002
“This is a major step forward in defending the Sandymount coastline against flooding
It is great to see progress finally being made on this long-overdue infrastructural project
“Today’s announcement paves the way for the early construction of the flood-relief scheme and provides a clear direction for the community and homeowners who currently cannot obtain home insurance in the area,” he added
The engineers have been tasked with designing works and measures to protect the community from current risks
with those works to be as adaptable as possible to safeguard against “medium and long-term risks” related to climate change
A key requirement of the designs is to minimise their environmental impact
including on the various Natura 2000 sites for which Dublin Bay is designated
The council also outlined that “opportunities to enhance public amenity and provide co-benefits shall be explored”
“With the awarding of this design contract
we are working towards the protection of the Sandymount community from the known risks of coastal and pluvial flooding
which are further exacerbated by the effects of climate change,” said John Flanagan
Jacobs said it will engage and consult with the public
and other parties on behalf of Dublin City Council throughout the life of the project
This contract is fully funded by the Office of Public Works (OPW) as part of their Flood Relief Programme under the National Development Plan 2021-2030
“Jacobs brings extensive experience in long-term resilience solutions to support Dublin City Council on the Sandymount Flood Defence Scheme,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President
“We look forward to working together to safeguard the coastline and community from the effects of sea level rise and climate change for years to come.”

the first of a series of traditional music concerts
was held in Sandymount Community Centre back in late November to a packed audience. A mix of seasoned music lovers
which celebrated the rich heritage of folk music and newly composed music with Cormac Breatnach on whistles and Martin Dunlea on guitar.
harmonious blend of traditional folk music
with a twang of feisty Spanish vibes in some songs
alongside the delicate lightness of the whistle
carrying the melody with an almost ethereal quality
while the guitar provided a groundness with warmth and depth. Together
this duo formed a perfect balance of timeless tunes while connecting with the audience through what this music creates between the performers and listeners
Cormac Breatnach was immersed in the Irish musical tradition from early childhood
and throughout his long career he has played with artists as diverse as Elvis Costello
and has recorded many albums to date. Cormac’s music is highly influenced by jazz and blues
self-taught guitarist and singer who plays in standard and open tuning
mostly fingerstyle. He played in folk rock and blues bands in Ireland
UK and the USA from his early teens to his late twenties. He is an extraordinary guitarist who feels the magic of tradition in every chord and he has made the transition from jazz to trad. Martin is also a composer and has appeared on notable TV and radio programmes
Cormac and Martin recorded their first duet album entitled
“Music for Whistles and Guitar” in 2004 and they played songs from that album on the night which was a combination of the perfect balance where the whistle danced freely above the strumming of the guitar
that evoked a sense of nostalgic storytelling
enhancing cultural preservation; these performers had the audience hooked from the get-go
They also had their CD on sale where it was snapped up by everybody (myself included!) This was an evening of just being in the moment
allowing the mind to quiet and the simplicity of listening to live traditional music also fostered a calm presence and balance in the room which can be central to mindfulness.
Ceol and Wellness Cois Trá is an initiative of the Sandymount Community Centre to attract and support more music and cultural performances and activities in our community. The Sandymount Community Centre aims to connect and bring together people in the local communities and through this to foster community spirit and to provide a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Special thanks to the Chairperson of the Sandymount Culture Programme
who also joined in for one song with the lads and wowed the crowd with his technical mastery of the flute translating in an eloquent display

Picture of sewage discharge at Sandymount Strand on Monday night
Residents of Sandymount are raising their concerns and calling for urgent action from Irish Water in response to a troubling pattern of sewage contamination at Sandymount Strand
Their demands come amidst growing concerns about public health and the environmental degradation of this once popular beach
which has become increasingly hazardous due to frequent discharges of raw sewage
chairman of the Sandymount and Merrion Residents Association (SAMRA)
told the Irish Independent that raw sewage has been discharged onto the beach approximately 10 to 12 times each year
Turner describes the situation as “disgraceful” and said that the sewage contamination has made the beach “unsafe and unsuitable for public use”
A spokesperson for Irish Water acknowledged the challenges posed by the outdated sewer system in Sandymount
and said it is working to address the issue
The area has reportedly become inundated with unpleasant smells
and dog poo,” further exacerbating the public health threat
Residents and beachgoers have been left grappling with the consequences of these frequent discharges
Turner notes that the sewage includes not just human waste but also sanitary products
creating a dangerous environment for anyone who might come into contact with it
“The raw sewage released onto Sandymount Beach creates an immediate public health hazard,” he said
“If a private company were found to be polluting like this
“Irish Water’s inaction means people are unknowingly exposing themselves to hazardous conditions on the beach
leading to illnesses that could have been prevented
“The situation has been ongoing for decades
with Irish Water failing to provide even basic measures like hazard signage or a clear timeline for improvements
“It’s shocking that despite having evidence and public outcry
there’s been no significant response or change from Irish Water or the EPA,” he added
The Sandymount and Merrion Residents' Association has taken formal steps to address the problem
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last May
The letters outlined the persistent issues and called for immediate action
“There is a glaring lack of engineering solutions
signage and automatic cleanup procedures,” a SAMRA spokesperson said
They argue that while responsibilities are clearly divided—Irish Water handles technical and operational aspects
and Dublin City Council manages cleanup above the high-water line—there has been a failure to address the problem effectively
“What matters is that Irish Water has known about this problem for years but has not taken the necessary actions to resolve it,” Mr Turner said
“We need them to erect signage and provide a clear timeline for system upgrades and ensure regular clean-ups of the most affected areas.”
Having previously called on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to treat the sewage on the beach as a “serious health issue”
the residents' association said they now feel that the agency is “turning a blind eye” to the situation
“A sample of the contaminated water could highlight the severity of the issue and force action
but Irish Water and the EPA are failing to address the problem adequately,” Mr Turner added
Irish Water has acknowledged the issue and outlined their ongoing efforts to address it
A spokesperson from Irish Water said: “We are committed to continuously maintaining
and developing critical water and wastewater infrastructure to protect and enhance the environment while enabling communities to thrive.”
The spokesperson highlighted that Irish Water operates over 1,000 wastewater treatment plants and 26,000 kilometres of public sewers
treating 1.2 billion litres of wastewater daily
Irish Water acknowledges that while the primary responsibility for monitoring and managing bathing water quality lies with local authorities
its operations can still affect water quality
They said: “While primary responsibility for the monitoring and managing of bathing waters lies with local authorities
Irish Water recognises that its activities can impact bathing waters in some locations.”
The utility pointed out that factors such as dog and bird faeces
upstream agriculture and misconnections also play a role in water quality issues
Irish Water is engaging with various stakeholders
including the Dublin Bay Bathing Water Taskforce and the National Bathing Water Expert Group
A spokesperson added: “We are continuing to work proactively with all stakeholders to support improvements in bathing water quality
protecting and enhancing our coastal and inland waterways.”
They also acknowledged the challenges posed by the outdated sewer system in Sandymount
“The sewer system in Sandymount was built in the 1900s and
it carries both wastewater from homes and businesses and water that is drained off roads and pavements
“Irish Water is assessing the combined network to understand its current limitations through a Drainage Area Plan and local monitoring,” they added
incremental improvements in bathing water quality at Sandymount Strand have been recorded,” with 100pc of samples meeting the required standards in 2023
Dublin City Council added that bathing water at Sandymount Strand “is experiencing its best quality in recent years”
with 93pc of samples meeting the required standards in 2024
The council attributes this improvement partly to “responsible dog ownership” reducing dog fouling
which was a major cause of poor water quality in past seasons
DCC also continues to monitor water quality throughout the year
taking 20 samples at each designated location
A “Task Force” was established in 2019 to address water quality issues
resulting in “incremental improvements” in both Merrion and Sandymount Strands
DCC said Irish Water is responsible for “all foul and combined sewage matters” and would handle any drainage infrastructure queries
DCC has “erected public notices” to acknowledge improvements and continues efforts in cleaning and managing the beach area
"Regarding signage at the Ailesbury Outfall
Dublin City Council did fabricate and install two warning signs following a request by SAMRA in 2021,” a spokesperson said
“Primary signage was installed on the outfall wall
visible to users on the Strand with the other visible to users of the promenade
Due to the coastal elements and the force of the bi-daily tide
the sign visible from the promenade was repeatedly destroyed within a number of weeks
“The primary signage attached to the outfall wall remains intact and is highly visible to pertinent users on the beach
The team has reviewed the existing signage and has not been able to identify a suitable additional area below the high tide level that would allow for the erection of a sign to notify beach users that would remain in place for any significant period of time
"I will request that Irish Water also examine the matter to add additional signage within this area
“We are aware that Uisce Eireann operational teams have committed to visiting the outfall location after a discharge form the Ailesbury pumping station to clean the area
subject to other emergency work talking precedence,” they added

this detached house is bordered by old stone walls and sits at the edge of the Dodder river
with a balcony on the first floor to make the most of the view
There has been a house on this site for more than 50 years but eight years ago
it was knocked and rebuilt to a very high standard
The owners bought the house just two years ago
when they returned from living in New Zealand
They got the benefit of the hard graft that had gone before them as they moved into a home that was standing to attention
which is on the market with DNG seeking €1.25 million
has a layout that would make it perfect for modern living
On the ground floor the large room at the back is where all the action takes place with the kitchen
livingroom and diningroom all housed together but in clearly defined spaces
The kitchen is fitted with bespoke white units and has nice extras such as marble worktops
pendant lights over the island and a wine fridge
The dining area is large enough for a table of 10 surrounded by windows looking into the garden
The livingroom space has a fireplace as the focal point with built-in window seats with extra storage
There is a utility room off the kitchen to keep the washing machine and dryer out of sight
[ New houses in Naas offer mix of rural and contemporary living from €560,000Opens in new window ]
At the front of the house there are three bedrooms (the main is en suite) and a bathroom.
Upstairs is the sweet spot in the house, where the sittingroom is lit up with the Velux windows and has doors out to the balcony. The owners say sitting here at night is so peaceful with the moonlight reflected on the water.
Most of the house has been repainted recently in Little Greene and Farrow & Ball colours, and panelling has been added to two of the bedrooms. Both bathrooms have waterfall showers and heated towel rails, with a Jacuzzi bath in the en suite.
The house is accessed by a sliding electric gate from the main road. Once inside the gate, there is a sense of privacy and quiet. The garden has been landscaped to be low maintenance with a stone path and gravel at the front, and a patio and lawn at the back and side.
The heating is provided by a heat pump and the property comes with a B3 energy rating.
Bath Avenue is close to the Facebook offices on Serpentine Avenue and Google on Barrow Street. The Aviva Stadium is one street over, while Grand Canal Dock, Ballsbridge and Sandymount village are all a 15-minute walk away.
The owners are relocating to Copenhagen and although very excited about their new move, they will miss their morning coffee on the balcony and the convenience of living so close to the city.

The Anglican Church of St John the Evangelist in Sandymount, Co Dublin, which marks its 175th anniversary this month, has had a singularly turbulent history. Before the first World War it was the target of riotous demonstrations by members of Dublin’s Orange Order protesting at its “Romish” liturgy. In the 1930s its priest was suspended by the Church of Ireland for six months because some of his practices were too close to Rome.
St John’s is also unusual, if not unique, in the Church of Ireland in having had as its organist one Cecil MacDowell who, having changed his name to Cathal Mac Dubhghaill, took part in the 1916 rebellion fighting under the command of Eamon de Valera in Boland Mills.
The church was founded in 1850 by Sidney Herbert, later Lord Herbert of Lea, after whom the adjacent area and its railway station was named. Herbert was the son of the Earl of Pembroke and had inherited the estate of his Fitzwilliam cousins, which covered much of south Dublin.
The erection of a sea wall along the Strand Road beside the Martello Tower around 1800 allowed the development of the district behind it, which had previously been marshland and brickfields. After he came of age in 1831, Sidney Herbert promoted residential house-building, granting leases of sites. The new Dublin to Kingstown railway founded in 1835, with halts in the district, made it more accessible.
It was to provide a place of worship for the growing population and to create work to relieve those affected by the Great Famine that Herbert decided to build St John’s. It was designed in the Romanesque style by Benjamin Ferry, a pupil of Pugin. It cost Herbert £6,000 and was a proprietary church, independently financed and governed by trustees under a deed of endowment.
It thrived through the late 1800s under the benign, 35 year-long ministry of Corkman Bennet Davidson-Houston. Congregations of 300 attended on Sundays. In 1880, a church hall was built; its social activities included dramatic productions, which continued into the second half of the 20th century. Percy French, who lived nearby before his first wife’s premature death, performed there in its early years.
Fletcher Sheridan Le Fanu, a relative of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, became minister in 1899. He was the first minister at St John’s to be addressed as “Father”. He described himself as Anglo-Catholic and introduced into the liturgy a range of practices, such as the use of incense, elaborate vestments, candles, a confessional, altar servers and choral singing at the Divine Service. He founded in 1912 an order of Anglican nuns, which was to remain on St John’s Road until the 1960s.
Practices that smacked of Rome were objectionable to Dublin’s active Orange Order on political as well as religious grounds. Demonstrations outside the church, and interruptions within it by some of its members, led to arrests followed by convictions in the magistrate’s court on charges of “church brawling”. Fines were imposed. Dissent from a section of the regular congregation was also quelled by resort to the courts.
Fr Randal Colquhoun, who succeeded Le Fanu in 1930, shared his convictions. “I am a Catholic,” he asserted, “I teach all the principles of the Catholic Faith with the exception, of course, of the infallibility of the Pope”.
A petition had been brought by a group of laymen before the Church of Ireland Court of General Synod charging him with a list of misdemeanours that included: making the sign of the cross, wearing a biretta, using incense.
This court, which consisted of bishops and Protestant judges of the civil courts, suspended him for six months. He was also forced to get rid of Stations of the Cross presented to the church by artist Evie Hone, a member of the congregation.
Under Fr Le Fanu and Fr Colquhoun, St John’s became less a church serving the local Church of Ireland population than one attracting those from a wider area whose allegiance is Anglo-Catholic.
In the 1960s, St John’s was forced to sell its church hall and vicarage to meet the heavy cost of maintaining its beautiful old building.
In an age where the religious controversies of the past have become less sharp, St John’s survives thanks to generous pastors, its small steadfast congregation and bountiful benefactors.
Immigration has brought worshippers from other countries; there is a bilingual Mass to mark St Patrick’s Day and a packed carol service at Christmas, graced by readers from local churches of all denominations and singers from other choirs.
The Stations of the Cross hang there once more, thanks to the generosity of the Jesuits for whom they were bought when St John’s was compelled to sell them over 80 years ago.
The 16-bedroom house in the upmarket Dublin 4 neighbourhood has been at the centre of a repossession battle for many years

that has been stuck in the court system for four years

former editor of Food & Wine magazine and former Sunday newspaper restaurant critic
Crudo is Ernie’s favourite neighbourhood restaurant, and the legacy goes way back. Eileen Dunne
who is one half of the Dunne & Crescenzi restaurant duo
Three years ago her son Sean Crescenzi teamed up with best mate Jamie McCarthy and took over the Dunne & Crescenzi restaurant in Sandymount
Between them they have a serious amount of industry experience
from working together in Dunne & Crescenzi
to McCarthy’s time spent in Kevin Thornton’s Michelin-starred kitchen
and managing Joe Macken’s Hey Donna back in its heyday
with the wine shelves removed to open it up a bit
with its whitewashed walls with a wooden floor and wooden furniture
An impressive display of McCarthy’s cookery books line the high shelf that runs around the walls
The menu is divided into spuntini (snacks)
The wine list is reasonably short with quite a few wines by the glass
with pricier options such as Prunotto Barolo at €150 and Tignanello Chianti Classico Riserva at a punchy €201
We opt for a very pleasant Colombia Bianca Vitesse Nero d’Avola (€36) which works nicely with our food
morcilla flambé (€14) sounds rather tempting; it’s a little bit of theatre
Our waiter flambés the fresh morcilla sausage in Sambuca tableside
and tells us to wait for the flames to die (good advice) before spreading it on the focaccia
like a soft black pudding with a hint of anise
The padella di mare (€18) arrives in a mini cast-iron frying pan
filled with Kilkeel crab claws and Killary Fjord mussels
which have been sautéed in a Vermouth-scented sauce with jalapeño salsa verde
We question whether the sauce is a shade salty: the brininess of the mussels and crab claws would have provided ample seasoning on their own
[ Lotus Eaters review: New Asian-inspired Dublin restaurant is likely to be a crowd-pleaserOpens in new window ]
For mains, I opt for one of the daily specials, baked orzo with cockles and red mullet (€25). Red mullet is highly prized on the Continent, known in France as rouget. It is one of Rick Stein’s favourite fish – in particular, as he told me a few years ago, the red mullet landed in Cork at the end of the summer. Served in a scalding hot cast-iron skillet, the mullet sits on top of cockles and orzo in a most beautiful shellfish sauce with a touch of anise from Sambuca.
Our other dish, arroz al horno (€28) is similar to a prawn risotto with Arborio rice in a Dublin Bay prawn and Sambuca bisque, which has a nice kick of chilli heat. It is finished with prawn oil and crème fraîche.
To finish we have a tasty tiramisu (€9) scented with Frangelico and topped with grated chocolate, roasted hazelnuts and a pan di stelle, an Italian chocolate and hazelnut biscuit, which is decorated with white chocolate stars.
An affogato of Sicilian pistachio ice cream (€9) has been doused with Frangelico and served with a double espresso, which does its magical thing of melting the ice cream. And more magic follows. As we ask for the bill, we are offered a grappa, the Italian digestif that ranges from throat ripping to the perfect end to a meal. This grappa is quite special. I imagine it’s one of the benefits of dining with a local.
Crudo is not just a very fine neighbourhood restaurant, it is a restaurant that seems to embody all that is great about Italian restaurants: the food, the service, and the conviviality, not to mention the grappa. It is a restaurant I would be very happy to have in my own backyard.
Dinner for two with a bottle of wine was €139.
THE VERDICT Delicious Italian food in a wonderful neighbourhood restaurant.
Food provenance Glenmar, Doyle’s Seafoods, Mushroom Butcher, Pat Mcloughlin meat, La Rousse.
Vegetarian options Burrata with Romesco and padron peppers, oyster mushroom fritti, ravioli and cacio e pepe fritti.
Wheelchair access Fully accessible with accessible toilet.
Music Sorry, I was listening to Ernie. Not sure there was any.

Sandymount Strand and are within walking distance of the city centre
and a councillor has tabled a motion – but it’s unclear if the council is interested
Two teenage girls and a boy marched along Sandymount Beach at lunchtime on Monday
passing a woman quietly sunbathing on the dry sands below the grassy bank and vacant Martello tower
stopping once they reached the old crumbling Sandymount baths almost 100 metres away
and the boy skimmed some stones across a shallow pool of water beside one of the bath’s concrete walls
The two girls clambered over a piece of the wall that had broken off
the bath is split into two: one side historically for male bathers
overlooking the Irish Sea is curved slightly and has fallen away in some parts
including one black and white figure by the Dublin-based Brazilian street artist Neto Vettorello
the baths don’t fulfil any other purpose today
O’Neill is revisiting an idea he has been stewing on for two decades
He wants to revive the baths and once more make them a feature on the strand
The council should take a serious look at that
“Because imagine if you could go back out to the baths in the summer
Dublin City Council didn’t respond to queries about whether they were considering repairing the baths
John O’Neill arrived at his architecture practice on Irishtown Road just after 12pm on Monday
His partners were in the midst of a planning application
“We do have some days like this that we wish we didn’t have.”
he pulled up a presentation on his computer
outlining his vision for the rejuvenation of the Sandymount Baths
A lifelong resident of the Irishtown-Sandymount area
O’Neill says it frustrates him that the dereliction of the baths has become just another feature of the beach
It has been more than 100 years since the baths were used as intended
The Sandymount Baths, originally known as the Merrion Promenade, Pier and Baths were opened in July 1883, and designed by an engineer, Frederick Morley, according the Dublin Evening Mail
Morley had signed the construction contract with the Earl of Pembroke the previous December
The men’s bath was 120 ft by 80 ft, while the women’s was smaller, at 120 ft by 40 ft, according to the Mail
Linking them to the coastal Strand Road was a pier
But, by February 1899, the company behind the baths, The Merrion Pier and Baths Company Limited, had gone into liquidation, according to the Mail
after a section of the baths’ walls collapsed in 1920
says a 2017 heritage report by Lotts Architecture and Urbanism
O’Neill’s proposal for the old baths popped up on his computer screen
with the project titled “The Tidal Theatre”
Images show a rusted walkway over to the baths
his main plan would be to reinstate the old walls
“And then fill the inside with large boulders.”
a glass balcony at the end of the pier overlooks the baths below
This would occur as the seawater rises at high tide
which would catch the incoming tide and then the water is pushed up between the cracks,” he says
O’Neill says he wants to embrace the tide in the design
“A phenomenon that occurs when you live around here is you become very aware of the tide
It becomes a play thing for people who venture out to the baths
O’Neill first floated his idea for the baths to local councillors like Labour’s Dermot Lacey in the 1990s and early 2000s
Lacey got to thinking about them again recently
The Labour councillor had been down by the baths late in April
and secondly was how potentially dangerous they are if we don’t do something with them soon.”
The Parks Department had arranged a meeting with O’Neill
said Fine Gael Councillor James Geoghegan at the meeting
The council did not give any indication that they have plans to hold a competition for a redesign or revival of the baths
So the motion has been put back on the agenda for a future committee meeting
The Parks Department’s perspective is that the baths should be progressed as part of a bigger plan for the Sandymount area
“They think it needs to be done as part of a whole view of the bay.”
Sandymount Strand does have a number of issues that currently need solving, Lacey says. “We need to try and do something with the old Martello Tower
and make it clean and safe to swim in again.”
Based on a four-year running average of tests, bathing water quality at Sandymount Strand is classed as “poor” this year. There’s a bathing prohibition in place this season
Dublin Bay is a great potential asset for the city
“I suppose it’s not being treated that way.”
It highlights the need for the Dublin Bay Bill 2021 to be passed
Proposed by Labour leader Ivana Bacik, the bill seeks to put a statutory framework in place that can protect the coastal environment, regulate pollution, and co-ordinate all public bodies responsible for the bay, according to Bacik’s website
One statutory body should be responsible for the bay
Doing it up as part of a plan for the whole bay doesn’t inspire hope in O’Neill
If it needs to be a part of the whole bay and the prom
