Centre for performing arts to be built in docklands

The Irish Times

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) is launching a marketing campaign today for a 2,000-seat centre for the performing arts to be located in Grand Canal Harbour in the docklands. Developers are to be invited to put forward proposals for providing the auditorium and other cultural facilities as part of a larger scheme which is also likely to include about 15,000 sq m (161,460 sq ft) of office and retail space. The entire development is likely to cost about €160 million.
