Aungier Street Planning

Fanagan Funeral Directors has been granted planning permission by Dublin City Council to build a hotel to the rear of their premises at 19-22 Aungier Street, Glovers Court and Bow Lane, Dublin 2.

This will involve demolishing a warehouse on the site used as a garage for hearses and limousines. A nine-storey hotel is to be built with 232 en suite bedrooms. There will be two basement levels, one used by Fanagans to park their fleet.

Meanwhile a plan by Holbien Developments for a 290-bed eight-storey hotel at Leeson Lane and Quinn's Lane has been opposed by TN Kelly, who owns an apartment in St Stephen's Green because of "gross impairment of Leeson Street".
