Planning permission for an expansion of a popular pub in the city's west end has been overturned.
Earlier this year, city planners gave the green light for the Blue Note to create a new "Quiet Lounge" in a vacant commercial premises beside the pub gate.
A local resident had raised objections, over the noise impact on overheard apartments and took an appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
It's now refused permission - because it wasn't satisfied that residents wouldn't be seriously affected by the noise.
