Ref. DSDZ5296/22) identified as Block No. 3 over three levels of basement on a site of 1.24ha forming part of a larger site identified as City Block No. 9, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1. The subject site is primarily bounded by: Mayor Street Upper to the north; North Wall Quay to the south; North Wall Avenue to the east; and the residual City Block No. 9 lands of 0.69ha to the west.
