Office, cultural use of GPO will 'keep the lights on'

The Office of Public Works is initiating a temporary 'meanwhile use' of Dublin's historic GPO building for office and cultural space during a decade-long redevelopment project. A public consultation process will begin in the autumn to gather feedback on the building's long-term future.
Why it matters
The project balances the preservation of a significant national landmark with the practical need for functional urban space during a massive, multi-million euro renovation.
The Office of Public Works is to begin using the GPO for offices and community and cultural space while plans to redevelop the landmark building are under way.
The report provides a balanced overview of government plans and architectural goals without taking a stance on the redevelopment strategy.
