Plans for major improvement works at Parnell Square will be presented to Dublin city councillors tomorrow, and are due to go on public display in the next two weeks. The plans involve extending the O'Connell Street redevelopment programme from the Parnell Monument to around the square. The revamp will follow the style of O'Connell Street, with granite paving, tree-planting and the widening of paths. It is not yet known how many, if any, of the on-street metred parking spaces will be left on the square. However, the city management and councillors agree the square should no longer be used as a major parking resource for the city.
