This isn’t really the thread for it, but remember Dunnes may not want to stay put in MQ given their new store on Patrick Street. There was talk a few years back of putting another floor on. Perhaps now is the time for a major re-furb. Remember, the place was built in the midst of the last recession, so its not like OCP don’t have the nerve.

Do we need 4+ lanes of traffic on Patricks Quay going into 1 lane on a mostly pedestrianised Patrick Street now that the centre core is bypassed ?

Give 2 lanes back to the developer to extend centre to original footprint of original buildings ?

New facade and extra floor space for larger units is possible.

Its dying a slow death on the mall side and with Opera Avenue etc thats wher the footfall is going to be.
