A planning row over the development of 55 apartments at a protected structure in a south Dublin suburb has resulted in dozens of residents submitting objections due to concerns about child safety, traffic and the impact on local creches and schools. South Dublin County Council granted permission to Emmaville Ltd, a joint venture between Tipperary building firm Clancy Construction and Cork property developers Lyonshall Ltd, for the construction of an apartment block at Scholarstown House on Scholarstown Road in Dublin 16 last month.
A three-alarm fire broke out at a Buddhist temple early Monday morning, causing part of the roof to collapse, authorities said.

The temple, Chua Duyen Giac, was previously damaged by a fire that broke out in May 2024, displacing four people.
