Plans for one of the largest mosques in Ireland have been given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála in spite of local opposition. The planning-appeals board has said the Shuhada Foundation of Ireland can build a four-storey mosque, community centre and primary school on the site of Warrenstown House, a former HSE facility in Blanchardstown, in west Dublin. It also said the Shuhada Foundation of Ireland has indicated that the school and community centre will be open to everyone. They were substantially revised and scaled down last year after the council raised concerns about the scale of the development. He also plans to raise funds from the medical community in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
