Green light for River Liffey office block

An Bord Pleanála has given the green light for a new nine-storey office block overlooking the River Liffey opposite the International Financial Services Centre.

Last September, Dublin City Council gave Targeted Investment Opportunities the go-ahead for the 15,479 sq m office block at No 13 to 18 City Quay that also contains plans for two retail or restaurant units and a café.

However, An Taisce appealed the decision to An Bord Pleanála claiming that the five- to nine-storey block was contrary to the provisions of the George’s Quay Local Area Plan.
