Illustration: HammersonThe company behind the contentious redevelopment of 5.5 acres between Dublin’s O’Connell Street and Moore Street has submitted new plans in relation to a number of historic and protected buildings on the site, pending the outcome of judicial review proceedings against the scheme. However judicial proceedings were initiated against the decision by the Moore Street Preservation Trust, a group involving a number relatives of those involved in the 1916 Rising, and Sinn Féin. Dublin Central GP has also sought planning exemptions for more minor repairs to 57-58 O’Connell Street Upper, 18 Moore Street and 11 Moore Street. This work is largely to stop leaks and protect against water damage to neighbouring 1916 national monument buildings at 14-17 Moore Street.
