#CruiseBerth - Afloat.ie has learned that the Dun Laoghaire Combined Clubs (DLCC) will not seek a judicial review of An Bord Pleanála’s approval of a scaled-down cruise berth for Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
DLCC members, who welcomed the 250m limit on the proposed cruise liner berth, recently met to discuss the planning decision and whether a review was warranted based on interpreted material changes to the permission sought, based on objections or suggestions from DLCC and others.
However, it was agreed not to launch a joint appeal for reasons of cost, and that the reduced maximum scale of the cruise berth changes its commerciality such that may never proceed.
However, the joint decision does not prevent any of DLCC’s constituent yacht clubs or individuals from seeking judicial review before the deadline of Wednesday 28 December, three weeks from today.
Meanwhile, DLCC members are seeking contributions to cover a shortfall associated with the extended oral hearing over the cruise berth proposals.
