Events Centre In The City Gets The Go Ahead
An Bord Pleanála has given the green light for a 50 million euro events and conference centre in the City. The board has granted planning permission to developer Owen O’Callaghan for his proposed 5,000-seat facility on Albert Quay. An Bord Pleanála has attached conditions to the granting of permission, including that the developer upgrade the public lighting on Albert Quay, Albert Street and Albert Road to modern standards. The board’s decision brings to three the number of events centres with planning in the city. Bam, with site owners Heineken Ireland, has planning permission for a €150m proposal on the former Beamish and Crawford site. While, Planning permission is still valid for a centre on the old Ford distribution site near Páirc Uí Chaoimh, proposed by Howard Holdings.
