Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has officially granted permission for John Paul Construction to undertake essential works outside of standard operational hours at the Dundrum site. This project involves the delivery and erection of a large tower crane, which is scheduled to take place over the weekend of 3 and 4 October.
To accommodate the complex nature of this installation, the council has approved specific weekend hours. Work will proceed on Saturday 3 October from 8.00am until 5.00pm, followed by Sunday 4 October from 8.00am until 4.00pm. These timings were selected to ensure the safety of all personnel and members of the public, as the crane will be positioned near the development's primary entrance.
Officials confirmed that a significant exclusion zone will be enforced throughout the duration of the assembly to mitigate potential hazards. By scheduling these high-risk activities during the weekend, the contractors aim to minimise disruption to traffic and site access while maintaining a secure environment. Further details regarding site management are available through the local authority's official planning portal.
