An Bord Pleanála is holding a hearing this afternoon into plans by the Swedish furniture giant, Ikea, to locate a shop in Ballymun in Dublin.
The company secured planning permission last October for a 30,000 sqm outlet, but this was subsequently appealed.
Concern about the traffic implications for the congested M50 has led An Bord Pleanála to hold a hearing in Dublin this afternoon.
Among the objectors are the National Roads Authority, and developers Treasury Holdings.
