No need to complicate things. Place the metro station under O'Connell Street between Abbey Street and Henry Street / Earl Street North (The Spire). With entrances at both ends and by moving the Luas line BX 'O'Connell Street' stop to the centre of the road above the metro station there would be ideal interchange between all three lines.
The only reason the metro station is outside the Gresham and not nearer Abbey Street is to accomodate the Tara Street/Tara/Trinity stop in the vicinity of the Screen cinema.
