Georgian Society slams Ronan’s Dublin tower plan

Property developer Johnny Ronan’s planned “iconic” 22-storey Aqua Vetro tower will have an adverse and detrimental effect on the character and integrity of key buildings and architecturally-sensitive locations in Dublin, according to one objector to the plans.

A decision on the proposed Tara St building — which would be Dublin’s tallest structure if given the go-ahead — is due next month.

However, in a submission to Dublin City Council, Irish Georgian Society executive director Donough Cahill said the plan is contrary to the council’s policy to protect the capital’s built heritage.
