PLANNING PERMISSION for two 50-bed community nursing units in the Phoenix Park in Dublin was bypassed by ministerial order in 2006.

Minister for Health Mary Harney made three orders in July and August 2006 exempting the development at St Mary’s Hospital, off Acres Road in Phoenix Park, from the need for planning permission. The whole of Phoenix Park is a designated national monument and legislation conserving its landscape, nature and biodiversity dates from 1925.
