Johnny Ronan gets go-ahead for €200m Ballsbridge build

Property developer, Johnny Ronan has received the green light for a €200m office block development at Ballsbridge in Dublin that will have the capacity to accommodate 2,200 workers.

An Bord Pleanála has approved the Ronan plan, located opposite the RDS on Merrion Road, despite six appeals lodged against the proposal.

In giving the plan the go-ahead, An Bord Pleanála over-ruled its inspector who recommended the omission of the top two storeys of the six-storey block.
