One multi-storey car park in Dublin city centre is seeking to capitalise on the changed environment brought about by Covid-19 by transforming its rooftop section into an outdoor restaurant and open air cinema.

Plans to alter the upper levels of the Trinity Street car park, which is located behind Dame Street, also include an “immersive art gallery” on the building’s 5th floor.
