Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / February 26 2004: Helium balloon may provide Dublin's 'Eye in the Sky'

Some may think it's getting the London Eye on the cheap, but a plan is being unveiled today to moor a helium balloon in the River Liffey offering punters the chance to see Dublin from the air. The proposal is one of many in a new urban framework plan for Temple Bar, the city's designated "cultural quarter", which aims to reorientate the area away from its current status as a drinking destination. Drawn up by Howley Harrington Architects, who designed the Millennium Footbridge over the Liffey, the plan was commissioned by Temple Bar Properties (TBP), the company responsible for managing the area.
