Residents vs. School: Battle for Kenilworth Square's Trees

Residents of Kenilworth Square in Dublin are protesting against St Mary’s Colleges plans to replace grass rugby pitches with all-weather surfaces and add floodlights, which would involve removing eight mature trees. A High Court judge granted a temporary injunction to prevent immediate tree removal, acknowledging the time it takes to replace them. Locals are divided, with most residents opposing the project and some supporting better sports facilities. The school promises to plant new trees if the plans proceed, while residents plan to appeal the courts main ruling, keeping the debate alive.
