Seems like a great idea just thrown out the window, they could have really made that special.

Agreed. What would have been a free amenity to the tax payer. Could they not just have reduced it in height rather than instructing it be ommitted?

Planning process is a bit nuts. Applicant submits plans to Dublin City Council. Dublin City Council gives opinion, applicant redesigns plans, knowing full well that ABP will just demand another complete redesign later. What a waste of time and money. Could there not be some consultation between DCC and ABP at the beginning of the process, or just cut out the middle man.
