An Taisce did not take this decision. An Bord Pleanala did. It sounds like it was a tough one for them.
Castlethorn are pretty good developers though and I’m sure they will come back with a good revised plan. Given the note on the decision it sounds like they ought to stick with Wejcherts too.

Edit: BTW the Irish Times can’t be right in its claim “that DCC will review its strategy of promoting retail use on South King St following the surprise decision of the Board”. Where did the journo get this stuff from?
To quote from the ABP direction again: the Board considered the proposed building to be of high design quality and considered the proposed uses, particularly at street level to be most desirable
