Liffey Valley shopping centre looks set for major expansion

The Irish Times

South Dublin County Council is moving swiftly to designate the controversial Liffey Valley shopping centre site at Quarryvale as the "major town centre" to serve the Lucan-Clondalkin area. At its meeting today in Tallaght, the council is to consider varying the county development to permit Liffey Valley's owners to double the retail space on the 180-acre site, strategically located where the M50 meets the N4. This is in line with one of the principal recommendations of a new Retail Planning Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area, commissioned by its seven local authorities and due to be published this week. It comes down in favour of expanding Liffey Valley.
