Labour leader Ivana Bacik deletes social media post opposing school's 'private Aviva' pitch plan

"The Protect Kenilworth Square group, which includes residents from the Victorian red-brick square, has raised more than €60,000 to fund a High Court challenge to Dublin City Council's approval of the first phase that allows St Mary's College in Rathmines to replace a grass rugby pitch with an all-weather synthetic pitch."

"St Mary's, which has owned the park since 1947, says the redevelopment will allow it to rent the new all-weather pitch to local soccer and GAA teams amid a shortage of suitable training grounds in south Dublin. The park is not open to residents."
