DUBLIN – NEW MEGA MOSQUE FEARS; seven-storey complex attracts SAFETY CONCERNS of locals
IRELAND – Dublin City Council is to give its decision on planning permission for a seven-storey development featuring a mosque and apartments at Blackpitts, Dublin 8.
The project, entitled Al-Bari Mosque and Apartments, is being tendered by Barrett Mahony Civil & Structural Consulting Engineers.
The proposed development is on the site of a former warehouse owned by Independent Clothing Holdings and will involve the demolition of the existing two storey structure. The company is owned by Azhar Bari who is from Pakistan, and who was advised on the project by the Clonskeagh Islamic Centre, which is currently closed after a series of controversies arose related to its management earlier this year.
The existing structure currently on the site of the proposed development is noted as being “presently disused”, but parts of which have acted as a “mosque”, “food processing”. and “residential” in the recent past.
