Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / January 30 2003: €200m Abbey partnership plan to transform face of national theatre

The Cabinet yesterday approved a multi-million euro re-development of the Abbey Theatre to be funded through public/private partnership. The proposal recommendeds the national theatre remains on its present site. However this would mean buying the buildings surrounding the theatre which would involve negotiating with more than 20 land-owners. If developing on the current site proves impossible other options, such as developing the Carlton cinema site, will be pushed.
