"the building has been designed to accommodate gender separation; with male and female members of the congregation entering from different sides and having independent circulation within the building" .A letter of support from Riversdale Community College was included in the planning application allowing the applicant to use their premises for overflow car parking .There was just one objection on file by Local Resident Patrick Regan . In his objection to the planning authority Mr Regan said the local community hadn't been informed of the size and scale of proposal , that the proposed development was too big for size of site , and the minaret too tall , visually obtrusive and with no megaphones whats the point of them, Mr Regan added that there is already 10 primary educate together schools in the area which the council has spent millions on , these schools would be more in accordance with the needs of the community , there is already plenty of all weather pitches in the area already , and added that In the future local residents should be properly informed at a public meeting before a project of such a huge scale is put forward to the planning dept of fingal county council .The application was first lodged with Fingal County Council on 19 Sept 2016 , (FW16A/0134) and had originally included a Secondary school also. The Planning Authority had a number of concerns and wrote to the applicant requesting additional information in which they told the applicant to reduce the scale of the school and events hall and to "revise site layout to give mosque additional prominance on site" , "re-location of the all weather playing pitch so that it does not detract from the setting of the mosque" . On 10 August 2017 , the applicant furnished the revised plans with the Secondary School omitted .The proposed development with all its drawings can be viewed...
