Dublin's tallest building, a 25-storey residential tower, has been given the green light.

Developer Johnny Ronan has secured planning permission for the apartment block on North Wall Quay in the docklands; 550 apartments are planned across three blocks as part of the Waterfront South Central scheme, which will include a restaurant and viewing terrace at the top of the tallest building.

To discuss, Kieran is joined by Ian Lumley, Heritage Officer with An Taisce and Olivia Kelly, Dublin Editor with the Irish Times.
