This included a proposed park measuring 0.2 hectares within the Bailey Gibson site. The judge said a masterplan for the area was later prepared jointly Hines and Dublin City Council in January 2020. The questions the judge referred to the European court relate to complex legal issues regarding what is permitted under the directives. The group’s spokesman Joe Clarke said the case could have been avoided had there been appropriate consultation.
