Owner of the Mulligan's Pharmacy chain was on Newstalk there saying they're opening in "the IFSC" in March after multiple COVID delays. I'm going to assume this is the remaining Macken House unit that has been earmarked for a pharmacy for years
The locational confusion can be assigned to how he said (jokingly) he doesn't even know where the M50 is!

Grafton Barbers unit in Dublin Landings has the sign up and a November 2021 opening date on the window wrap
Tesco Express has notions of being a supermarket. They're basically full price convenience stores with a loyalty card!
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone calling Tesco a notions supermarket before 😂
Thats great to have Camile open also i've some inside news from someone that works in Tesco customer service i asked about possible opening date for the new store they said they've been told fit out of the new store is due to begin in early 2022 with a spring 2022 opening date all going well :)
Camile beside Centra is open now.
Fresh has also started fitout, but both it and the Spencer Dock Tesco unit are convenience stores with notions (of being posh and of being a full supermarket respectively)
tesco also have their planning approved although not sure when fit out works will begin
Dunnes need to open having them open i'm sure it'll push others to invest in the area which is long over due
Eddie rockers in point square was back open this evening
Latest on Dunnes Stores Saga fom the Courts. Looks very much like Dunnes know they have no case but are prepared to spend money in order to drag out their eventual store opening in the Point Village. Summer 2022 looks a decent bet .
Dunnes gets stay on fitting out Point Village anchor store

Dunnes Stores has been given a limited stay on a High Court order that it fit out a long-awaited anchor store in the Point Village in Dublin’s docklands.
Five years after a deadline passed requiring Dunnes to fit it out, Mr Justice David Barniville earlier this month granted Point Village Development Ltd (PVD) an order that the supermarket chain do the work.
On Wednesday, Dunnes was granted a limited stay in relation to fit-out pending appeal of the High Court decision but refused a stay on the decision related to other technical and administrative requirements to preparing the store for opening.
Michael Collins SC, for PVD, urged Mr Justice Barniville not to grant a stay saying Dunnes had not identified any substantial grounds for an appeal.
Dunnes had run points bordering on the unarguable and they had delayed the process in a number of challenges and appeals over the years in their instructions to their lawyer, Martin Hayden SC, who with “his characteristic anarchic brilliance” had succeeded in delaying the project for 10 years, he said.
No arguable point of appeal had been identified and it would be entirely contrary to the justice of the case to grant a stay, he said.
Mr Hayden, in reply, thanked Mr Collins “for the promo and I will forward the bank draft in due course”. He disputed Mr Collins’s suggestion that Dunnes had lost in most of its cases and said “we are not ahead on numbers but not that far behind”.
The costs of fitting out the store is substantial and there was fundamentally a disagreement on interpretation [of the contract with PVD] here which, while the High Court had emphatically rejected the Dunnes’ view, the appeal court may or may not say it is incorrect, he said.
Even if the court was not prepared to grant a stay on all the preparatory work, he asked there at least be a stay on the fit-out element.
Mr Justice Barniville said Dunnes is entitled to appeal and the appeal itself does not operate as a stay.
It was not immediately obvious what the grounds of appeal are but Dunnes are entitled to ventilate its arguments in the Court of Appeal where the judge expected the case would get an early hearing date.
He was prepared to grant a stay until the case comes before the Court of Appeal for directions on how the appeal should proceed. Arguments as to a further stay could be made before that court.
He also awarded the costs of the case to PVD.
Had a look on the Eddie Rocket's website, but it just says "closed" for every day under the opening times. I would have thought that, by now, if they hadn't already re-opened they would at least be announcing a date.
Haven't been to Beckett Locke before - do you know if it is any good? Just tried online, but everything on the website is about booking a room/apartment - can't find any info on the restaurant (opening times/menu etc)
Eddies is still on the list of retailers in various places on the shopping centre itself - Salad Box was removed. Its also still on Eddies site
The Beckett Locke is serving non-guests now but there's still limited capacity for sit down food particularly earlier in the week.
Does anybody know if the Eddie Rockets is re-opening or is it gone for good?
I see Ruby's and the Mason have survived the pandemic (so far), but there needs to be more food options in the area, especially with the massive increase in both office workers and residents in the next year .

It'll be a big Express, but the Metro branding for bigger-than-Express-smaller-than-normal is being ended.
Great news. I assume it'll just be a Tesco Express but it will provide some activity and passive surveillance to that section of street particularly in the evenings.
Water ingress was reported some years back
The future Fresh in Dublin Landings has window branding up now. There'll be four convenience stores open before Dunnes even make a move at this rate
Any idea what's happening with penthouse apartments in Spencer Dock? They seem to have green netting over most of them.
So will Dunnes ever move into the place? Great news that Tesco is coming to the area.
The centre is now up for sale minus the Dunnes. Yours for a cool €75m!

They pretend to have security working there (they told me this in an email once when i complained about crowds of students standing outside screaming and singing for hours at 2/3am in the morning). There is no way they have anyone working there at night.

While the building is annoying, it's a necessary and expected part of this neighbourhood. It happening while WfH is unfortunate and crap but it's good overall. If we were to protest noise, there's plenty that take the piss. I live in Liffey Trust, the dance studios have zero respect for their neighbours and have music blaring throughout the day. The student accommodation is a joke, I rang them about students screaming outside the doors at 3am and was told "well they're adults, what can we do?" by their security. My other complaint would be the odd unseemly HAP recipients that don't respect the place or their neighbours. There's one near me whose specialities are throwing rubbish off their balcony, having domestics at 2am on a weeknight and just generally being nasty to everyone who approaches them. If we could sort that, I'd happily protest
