Rita Crosbie’s Fastwell Ltd gets green light for units in spite of opposition from the Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Iput plc, the five-star Marker hotel and the lead designer for the square

The council planner’s report, which recommended that permission be granted for the change of use to retail kiosks, stated that Fastwell had addressed its concerns.

Advancing the case for the kiosks, planning consultant for Fastwell, William Doran, told the council that “women, generally, are unhappy at crossing the square alone at night”. Mr Doran further contended that “Grand Canal Square at night can be a dark, menacing area, fraught, at times, with antisocial behaviour and not somewhere any individuals would venture unaccompanied, particularly in the vicinity of the metal boxes”.
