The Department of Justice announced it will not move forward with the Ipas centre project in Coolock, following violent protests that resulted in injuries to construction workers and a breakdown of security measures. This decision was influenced by various factors, including necessary upgrades to the premises, delays in planning, and considerations regarding local residents' welfare. Despite welcoming the clarity of the decision, local leaders express concern that it may signal acceptance of violence as a means to influence policy.
The Department of Justice's decision not to proceed with the Ipas centre reflects ongoing community concerns and the violent protests that plagued its proposed construction.
Violence at the site led to significant worker injuries and intimidation, resulting in a withdrawal of security measures and the end of plans for the Centre.
