A plan for Ireland's largest new town that would in time become home to 46,000 people has been met with almost 400 objections.

Permission had been sought to build 18,500 homes at Dunsink in North Dublin, near what was up until 20 years ago the capital's main landfill dump.

Olivia, good morning.

What is the plan here?

And what is the plan?

What would they like to see in there?
voice-verified
It's a funny little part of the world.

There's a lot of little hidden nooks and crannies in there and things that people wouldn't know, like the Chagask facility at Ashtown, like the Tolka River corridor, where I note separately there was a significant fish kill over the course of the weekend, and Dunsink Observatory.

voice-verified
Indeed.
