Those who thought hard-nosed multi-millionaire developer Sean Dunne was out to make a killing with his billion-euro plans for leafy Dublin 4 may have got it all wrong. The massive 37-storey development which will see luxury apartments sell for up to €10m is apparently an exercise in philanthropy, judging by his remarks yesterday. "It will achieve the almost incredible task of giving almost nine acres back to the people," Mr Dunne said yesterday. He plans to build shops, restaurants and art galleries on the seven-acre site, which will result in nine acres of amenities -- across a number of floors -- that will also be accessible to the public.
