State agency, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and local residents have expressed concerns over fast track plans by developer, Joe O’Reilly, to construct a 29-storey landmark tower near Heuston Station in Dublin 8.

Earlier this year, Mr O’Reilly’s Ruirside Development lodged plans to construct 481 build-to-rent apartments and 3,698 sq m in commercial office space along with retail and restaurant space at Parkgate Street.
