Ushers’ Quay
This week’s planning proposals sees the Dublin City Council requesting more information about a proposed 11 new apartments in a development that will see the large shed demolished on Ushers’ Quay. In the broader context, this development should be considered as part of the increasing demand for residential space in the inner city.
Once again, planning permission is being sought for the development of the Altech micro distillery in the former St James’ Church of Ireland church on James’ Street. Let’s all hope they are successful, the city could do with more distilleries and the increased tourism can only be good news for local businesses .
