From architect Paschal O’Mahoney:

The Trees on the Quays project proposes to radically transform the shell of the abandoned Anglo Irish Bank Head Quarters into an innovative Public Park and Urban Space.

This  new world class Public Amenity  will serve as a National Vision and for the creation of a sustainable future where the Green and Technology Sectors exist in harmony.

Central to the project will be a Vertical Park where nature, rather than commerce, will re-colonise the abandoned concrete structure creating a new landmark on the Liffey Quays.
