Dublin residents raise 60,000 as they tackle private school's plans to build all-weather rugby pitch

Residents of the Victorian red-bricked square are deeply concerned that the redevelopment of Kenilworth Square, which includes a new synthetic pitch for sports, would severely harm the local environment and the integrity of their historic neighborhood. They believe that the addition of a synthetic surface will not only disrupt the natural aesthetic but also affect local wildlife and significantly alter the community's landscape.

To address their concerns over the impact of the redevelopment, local residents have come together, raising €60,000 to mount a legal challenge against the planned changes at Kenilworth Square. This collective fundraising effort reflects the strong opposition to the proposal, indicating that many residents are willing to invest time and resources to protect their environment and preserve the character of their community.
