## Resource

A major housing project in Dublin’s north inner city has been scrapped after fierce community resistance — preserving a beloved sports pitch that locals, politicians, and even Olympic champ Kellie Harrington fought to save. The planning commission ruled that developers couldn’t prove the pitch’s loss was justified or that a replacement would emerge, citing the city’s commitment to protecting existing community recreation spaces. While housing demand remains urgent, the decision underscores the value of keeping community assets intact — a win for common sense, as local leaders like Mary Lou McDonald and TD Daniel Ennis celebrate. Now, the focus turns to revitalizing the pitch and finding a new housing solution nearby — proving that sometimes, protecting what’s already there matters just as much as building something new.
