LIBERTY HALL & THE KAISER

Billionaire tax exile Dermot Desmond has weighed into the battle against the proposed redevelopment of Liberty Hall in Dublin, The Sunday Tribune reports.

Desmond has objected on the basis that it “proceeds from a complete failure to recognise that a building of such height cannot work at that location”.

The Kaiser doesn’t mince his words with his views on the existing building either, describing it as “uninspiring and ugly”.

SIPTU’s HQ rebuild is also being opposed by Irish Life and VHI, who both have offices nearby.
