It was mentioned in the press release for the Good shepherd development that PP was being sought for Georges Quay but no design has emerged yet.

IS there not the original part of Barringtons and a newer bit that was added on about 15-20 years ago? On the right hand side?

NO matter what goes in there you are gutting the building. A classic building like that doesnt go out of fashion if done correctly. One Perry Square is a fabulous facility in a (mainly) Georgian building.

It's quite common these days to demolish every thing except the facade and build a modern building inside the shell. That could easily be done with Barringtons if any developer wished to do so.

The newer bit is pretty small so unless they took over LSAD or the band hall I don't see a hotel happening.

If they had more land something like the Moxy in Cork would fit perfectly. The front of Barringtons might never go out of fashion but retrofitting old buildings into hotel rooms has.

Brennans Row

This is what the agents Bannon had in their sales prospectus about the property.

A mixture of Freehold and Leasehold on offer.

I still don’t get it if the sale has gone 100% through between Bon Secours and NKF Limited ?

Limerick Leader wrote . . .

Developers NKF Limited has been given permission by the chief executive of the Bon Secours Health System, Bill Maher, to engage with Limerick City and County Council on the future use of the building.

Mayor Moran should get proactive here and invite these two parties to the city hall to find out what they have planned for the Barrington’s site.

NKF Limited is a “Brass Plate Company” registered in the UK and owned by a citizen from the Peoples Republic of China.

It’s not the best type of company to siting on a prominent city centre property with just short term speculating / letting in mind.

I was delighted that the Limerick Chamber red flagged the proposed IPAS as not in the interest of the city centre.

Its ironic that EU countries pay billions to accommodate Ukrainian War Refugees where as PRC economically gains from Putin’s War.

Ironic in that if NKF Limited, had got the IPAS for Barringtons Hospital, then the profits would flow back to the PRC.

I hadn't realised "block C" was part of the hospital.

Planning permission in the Post this week for the art college on Georges Quay but no drawings online yet.
