Dublin City councillors have criticised plans to demolish a 19th-century pub mentioned in James Joyce's Ulysses, to make way for a six-storey development with apartments and a new pub. Hedigan's, also known as the Brian Boru, is located on Prospect Road, Glasnevin, and is a major landmark on the main route from the city to Glasnevin Cemetery. The pub is close to Phibsborough village and faces the Porterhouse North pub, opened last year.
