The future of a memorial to victims of institutional child abuse is
in jeopardy after planning was refused for the €500,000 project in
Dublin’s north inner city.
An Bord Pleanála has decided the impact of the Journey of Light design in the Garden of Remembrance would be too much to grant permission. The proposal was mostly for the rear of the garden and would have been accessed from the other side of Parnell Square, but it included plans for a walkway from the memorial through the raised podium that supports the Children of Lir statue in the main garden.
