Iarnrod Eireann is to seek planning permission next month for the construction of a massive tower development above Tara Street railway station. The state-of-the-art building will be 60.8 metres in height when it is completed, making it taller than Dublin's highest building, Liberty Hall which currently stands at around 60 metres. Office accommodation, a rooftop terrace restaurant and a bar will be included as part of the new development, which will dramatically increase the capacity of the station to cope with passengers during peak hours.
