Central Bank Crann an Óir sculpture to remain in situ

The Central Bank’s famous Crann an Óir sculpture will remain in its current city centre location after the bank confirmed it would not be seeking to move the landmark to its new headquarters at North Wall Quay.

The ‘tree of gold’ sculpture by artist Eamonn Doherty, which sits outside the bank’s current headquarters on Dame St, will remain in situ despite speculation last year that it was to be incorporated into its new offices in the Dublin Docklands.

Central Bank chief operations officer Gerry Quinn said the decision had been taken not to relocate the sculpture based on external advice and significant internal assessment.
