Reply To: A few queries about the recent docklands developments….

I think TCD and CIE intend to put an 80m tower on the southern corner of Pearse street and Westland Row, it will incorporate Pearse station, the large carpark area beside it and will require the demolition of the nondiscript 90s student residence called Goldsmith Hall. They are hoping to get planning permission on the principal established in the high buildings report that there should be tall buildings by the transport hubs.

At 80m it will be much higher than Liberty Hall and, I think, the highest building on the island. I must say, I am filled with enthusiasm for the idea.
