Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / February 14 2002: Developers say Kilmainham site is not important

Developers proposing an office and technology park opposite Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin have dismissed claims that the site has historical significance. A consultant for the developers complained at an oral planning hearing of attempts by the objectors to link the former Nestlé site in Kilmainham with "everyone from Brian Boru to Pádraig Pearse"."All its uses were industrial, not heritage. It was making Kit-Kats. That's the simple fact," said Mr Tom Phillips, representing developers Charmside Ltd, a subsidiary of Treasury Holdings.
