Dublin City Council has granted planning permission for the demolition of the building that housed the former Anglo-Irish Bank HQ on Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has granted planning permission for the demolition of the building that housed the former Anglo-Irish Bank HQ on Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green.

In a submission to the Council, former Environment Editor at The Irish Times Frank McDonald stated that the building “is still generally recognised as an exemplar of contemporary architectural infill in a historic setting”… and in latter years “acquired notoriety as the headquarters of Anglo Irish Bank, the leading lender to developers at the height of the phosphorescent phase of the ‘Celtic Tiger’ era”.

However, Mulcrone acknowledges that Cantor Fitzgerald is ‘financially bound’ to the office space due to the 10 year lease. Private members club, the Kildare Street and University Club also raised concerns over the construction impact on its operation.
