The move by Fanagans comes just weeks after Massey Bros confirmed that it was to open its 10th branch in Dublin beside publican Charlie Chawke’s The Goat Bar and Grill in Goatstown. Mr Chawke had initially applied for the planning permission which was granted by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown council. However, Fanagans new application, if it gets the green light, will result in two new funeral homes for the area.

“We believe that healthy competition is beneficial, ensuring that families have access to a range of services that can accommodate their needs and preferences,” she said. In an 11-page planning report lodged with the Fanagans planning application, Manahan Planners that the proposed change of use to funeral home “involves the provision of a vital community service in an appropriate location”.
