Dublin City Council is to submit plans to allow for the conservation and repurposing of Newcomen Bank.

Since Newcomen Bank ceased use as the Rates Office for Dublin City Council, proposals have developed to allow for the conservation and repurposing of the significant site to act as a resource for the community, visitors, local enterprise, the city and the state. The concept for the building is to provide a large and flexible public space to be made available with small to medium sized conference/exhibition, venue and meeting space available for public booking and cultural use throughout.

The conservation and new public purpose of the former Newcomen Bank will enhance its two historic neighbours in Dublin Castle and the City Hall and enliven the surrounding area, bringing this wonderful historic structure back into use.

It is the intention to submit the Part 8 Planning Application in August 2023 and bring the project to detailed design and appoint a contractor to undertake the works beginning in late 2024.
