Concert Hall plans €140m revamp

THE National Concert Hall (NCH) plans to develop three performance halls on its current site at an estimated cost of €140 million, to be completed by 2010 or 2012.

Maintaining the facade of the Earlsfort Terrace building, a new 2,000-seat auditorium will form the centrepiece of the project.

The existing hall will be converted into a 900-seat mid-sized space, with an additional 400-seat space also on site.
