Plans on theccd.ie (why they bothered to include ‘the’ as part of a major domain name i’ll never know).
Um, maybe because ccd.ie was already taken? 😀
good point 😉
what like, http://www.theo2.ie ?
Is that stumpy growth behind the keg atrium going to turn into the tower… or just remain a stump? It’s just that I don’t see any lift or emergency exit shafts going up. And it’ll look odd as a stump. Also, “stump” is almost as much fun to type as it is to say.
Craigfay: good pics. That man glaring at you looks as though he’s about to run over and nutter you. Did he?
The lift will be able to bring up an arctic truck container so don’t think they’ve been installed yet

I don’t know for certain but i’m pretty sure there is planning permission for a hotel on the site. so maybe thats gonna be it, again i’m not sure tho
I had thought that the decision on their tall hotel was due in jan, but I cant find any info on it, anyone? I doubt they would have recieved permission though. It would be like dublins beetham, though I think it would sit better with the streetscape here, while beetham has none.
Decided last week:
http://www.tribune.ie/business/news/article/2009/apr/05/planners-veto-treasurys-plans-for-spencer-dock-hot/
but I think they still have permission for a 14-storey hotel.Thanks for that. Disappointing, was hoping for some relief of the monotony, ill never understand ABP :/
Have they changed the name? Convention Centre Dublin sounds wrong…I prefer National Conference Centre
Just passed across O Connell Bridge last night – was a beautiful evening – and the view towards the conference centre looks great. The barrel was glistening in the evening sun and its a another real civic addition to the quays.
Pity about the hotel though. It looked like an elegant proposal.

Hotel planning refused as too tall – – -for docklands – -Good luck!
Too tall for the docklands? isn’t the whole point of the docklands that greater heights can be achieved without a negative impact on Georgian Dublin.

32 floors is a bit excessive tho, Dublin has to gradually get taller not just plonk a 120 metre skyscraper in the middle of 6 story buildings.
Well don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of this building per say but a break in continuous 6 story offices would be nice. Surely they don’t need 32 floors. Could they not settle for 28 or 24 maybe? Aqua Vetro will be the same size

Well there is planning permission for a 14 story hotel which in my opinion could be a bit bigger, but as you say it would grant respite form the usual six story shite :D. Not sure what they are waiting for tho.
Is Aqua gonna be that big??so that will be Ireland’s tallest building when built,who would have thought that 2 years ago :p
