CIÉ is seeking possession in High Court proceedings of a site in Dublin’s city centre where a Johnny Ronan company has started work on what is planned to be Ireland’s tallest office and hotel building. CIÉ owns the site for the planned 22-storey structure at Tara Street and in 2015 entered into a lease agreement with Tanat Ltd, part of Ronan Group Real Estate (RGRE), to develop the property.
Tanat subsequently obtained planning permission in 2019 for demolition of the existing Tara House on the site and the construction of the hotel and office project. As of August last year, Tanat informed CIÉ that all piling work on the site had been completed but excavation works had been delayed
