The former Carlton cinema site is back in contention as a possible location for the new Abbey Theatre. And the Dublin Docklands Development Authority has offered the State a site at George's Quay, Minister for Arts John O'Donoghue told the Dáil. He said he viewed the Carlton site on Dublin's O'Connell Street "as a real option" which he intended to explore further as soon as issues around the compulsory purchase order of the site had been resolved. The Carlton site has re-emerged as an option following a High Court judgment last week on a compulsory purchase order.
