my only major problem with this scheme now is its treatment of henry street. if they want facadism on oconnell street its not causing much harm but wiping out yet more of the Henry streets historic character is uneneccesary and harmful to the streetscape of one of our main shopping (tourist?)routes.
Is this an entirely new planning application or revised… do i still have time to object?agreed, i doubt any major changes will actually happen to parnell square, maybe a repaving but nothing on the scale proposed.
sue, such a large scheme would never have gone ahead (thank god) instead temple bar would have been flattened and turned into a surface carpark for dublin bus and would have only been redeveloped recently… never thought id defend charlie haughy!
anyone know what exactly is happening to the old irish times building? looks like construction has begun?

Is this redevolpement going ahead. This thread is 3 years old and all we have is a new canopy over the rotunda’s main enterence. No trees no reduction in parking no granite paving no improved bus bays
there is also the new entrance to the garden opposite the hugh lane, a new electricity substation (just saying whats happened not that its a positive) and works to the rear of the ambassador
Im not really against the square on o’connell street as itll draw people up there and with a few benches and cafes would be a great place for people to hang around as opposed to o’connell street where lets be honest you just dont stop walking along unless your waiting for a bus. Also this square will be in the place of the carlton facade and a vacant lot so we’re not loosing anything but i am totally against the idea of yet more buildings being torn down on henry street, theres just no need.
This park in the sky is a blatant publicity stunt to get support from easily impressed people and draw objectors attention away from other travesties in the developments design.Back to the drawing board in my opinion on the little ive already seen
