ESB HAS TODAY announced proposals to redevelop its new headquarters on Fitzwilliam Street, with a view to seeking planning permission in spring next year.
The company said that the building, parts of which were constructed in the 1950s, is “very inefficient and is expensive to maintain”. It said the redevelopment of the site offers the best longterm solution, both from an architectural and business perspective.
ESB stressed that the project will be self-financing through energy and maintenance savings, lease income and savings on avoided rental costs in other buildings and will not affect the price of electricity or gas for customers.
After careful consideration of the Georgian streetscape, the proposal is to deliver a building that is respectful to its history, sensitive to its surroundings and representative of its own time. The building will showcase innovative sustainable technologies, which will reduce carbon emissions and result in substantial energy savings. These sustainable initiatives incorporated in the proposed design will reduce the cost to run the building by 50 per cent.
The new building will double existing capacity and will accommodate an additional 1,400 workspaces. ESB will be submitting a planning application in March 2014, with plans to starting construction by 2016.

Nevermind these two! Watch out for Ron Paul the people president.
Ron Paul is a quack.
Why ‘s no one talkin about Dr Ron Paul.?
Because he is a senile, racist homophobe? It would be pretty much like putting my grandmother in charge of the worlds largest nuclear stockpile. While he can’t be accused of not practising what he preaches, this extreme post-Tea Party libertarianism (Gingrinch: poor 6 year olds should work) only benefits those who are already wealthy and safely at the top of society. The fear of ‘Big Government’ seems to have its root in Internet conspiracy theory fetishism. You Internet nerds best remember he is a nasty piece of work like the rest of them too.
But….I will admit there is a media blackout on him – it would be much better to have his opinions on foreign policy (especially that towards hyper belligerent Israel) aired more often amongst the American (far) right.
Chris…any evident’s to support what you say ?
Erm – it’s all in the news mate, it’s entirely self-evident to anyone who reads a broadsheet newspaper – please feel free to point out any specific point that requires clarification
Hay Chris…

You have no idea who wrong this statement is, it would almost be funny if it weren’t so wrong
This is a reason to vote Ron Paul

Straight out of North Korea. Re-education camps for people who aren’t as brainwashed as you.
Oh so you wouldn’t like me to share an opinion so?
Clearly us brainwashed have taken all the grammar books too – I’ll bring enough dictionaries and thesauruses to the gulag for everyone then :) Can’t wait
I don’t think either the banks or military like Ron Paul, hence the media amnesia.
Ron Paul had the highest military donations. Mainstream media hate Ron Paul because he doesn’t fit their corporate agenda.
Ron Paul is a nut! You might like hearing what he has to say but what he is saying is ” everyone on their own” which is ok if you are strong and doing well but if you are old, young, jobless, poor, sick etc he will provide nothing for you! It will be a Darwinian world- survival of the fittest!
and if your any of those now who is looking after you ??
Go Obama
have your say
