I think could be a nail in the coffin of this development, with the downturn adding the rest.

City council moves to protect Rising site
The Irish Independent

Dublin City councillors yesterday passed a motion to protect a safe house used by the leaders of the 1916 Rising even though planning permission for the site has been granted. The motion to designate No 16 Moore Street in the capital’s city centre a protected structure was unanimously passed by councillors after it emerged that the historic value of the site had not been brought to the attention of councillors when they were considering the developer’s planning application.
