Appeal on Dublin Footbridge

Appeal on Dublin Footbridge

13 Apr 1995

The designer of a proposed pedestrian bridge, between Ormond Quay and Wellington Quay, Mr Michael McGarry, said the Poddle Bridge could do for the city what the East Link did to open up the docks area.

Mr McGarry was speaking at an appeal being heard by An Bord Pleanala against a decision by Dublin Corporation to refuse permission to Temple Bar properties for the controversial bridge.

Supporting Dublin Corporation’s objections are An Taisce who believe the structure will interfere with the view of Dublin’s most historic landmarks along the Liffey, including the Halfpenny Bridge itself. The hearing continues today.
