New tourist hostel with 496 beds in Dublin's docklands approved by planners
Briefly

The planning authority has given the green light to Patrick Crean's Marlet Group for the scheme at Martin's Terrace, Dublin 2, despite local concerns about over-concentration of tourist accommodation.
Mr Hughes contended that from a practical perspective, the tourist hostel will contribute much more to the vitality of the area throughout the day compared to an office building while also ensuring increased activity within the immediate area at night.
He said that the proposed hostel will assist in alleviating pressure on the hospitality sector following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
Dublin Bay South TD, Chris Andrews stated that 'the last thing the inner-city community needs is another hostel or hotel,' highlighting local opposition to the development.
