Re: Re: New Building in Stephens Green

Open to correction on this, but that has been replaced by a building occupied by the Permanent TSB. The building was originally built by the Irish Permanent Building Society and named “Edmund Farrell House” after the then CEO’s daddy. I think it was initially to be named Sean Lemass House. There was an outcry over it at the time. Then the Trustee Savings Bank took over the IPBS and rightly dumped the HQ’s name. There was a later and separate row over Edmund Farrell&#8217]

There was a piece in yesterdays SBP about the PTSB HQ. Irish Life intends to move PTSB to its Abbey St complex subject to getting pp for some new development on the Abbey St site. The general Abbey/Talbot St. area is experiencing a bit of a renaissance in the last couple of years.
