Strange that the planning application was actually approved on May 5th, yesterday was the last day an appeal could be filed

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't part of that station overhang the Grand Canal and part of it may actually be in D2

I have always regarded the canals as the definition of the City Centre places like Drumcoundra and Ranelagh were always regarded as suburbs.
Yes/No? |

is heuston in the city centre Kevin?
I'd say the city centre is a lot smaller: Dorset st to st Stephen's Green Connolly to some vague undefined area immediately west of Capel st. I'd use Inner city for between the canals. |

Just to be the stickler for accuracy Tara Street (Georges Quay) opened 1st May 1891 not 1890 as IE are quoting

I think we can forgive them 1
300m to Luas is a little more difficult to forgive. I also note that the station is planned as a mainline station; which Intercity service is planned from here? |
