Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works

9:30 am

Mr. Ciaran O'Connor:

When the scheme was put forward by the Government in 2007 that was Military Road. Subsequently, that was used for the Garda building that was completed about two years ago. As part of the agreement in 2013, the conclusion of the arbitration was to move the site to the present location in the northern wing of the campus at the concert hall. Everything then flows on from there because that is a different site, it is a different building and as I said the historic building will account for 58% of what is involved and the other bits will be new elements that can be used by anyone really. It is almost like an empty vessel that can be filled by whoever uses it for whatever purposes. That is part of the overall complex of redevelopment of the concert hall. The concert hall would then account for the rest of the campus up in Earlsfort Terrace.
