TARA STREET STATION REDEVELOPMENT
Transportation systems are the life-giving arteries of any city.
They should be efficient and generously designed and relate directly
to the land uses which they are there to serve.
This website contains information detailing how the redevelopment of Tara Street Station
can contribute positively to the enhancement of transportation and land use relationships
in Dublin as well as providing a landmark building appropriate for this City centre transport node.
The Tara Street Station site is situated in a prime pivotal location at the junction of the
traditional City core and the Docklands area to the east at the turn of the river Liffey
where it is crossed by the loopline bridge. A greatly improved Tara Street Station will
serve both the old City to the west and the emerging City to the East.
