There is mounting speculation that Dublin City Council planners and designers are set to propose an even more 'radical' vision for College Green than that which was proposed last year.
With works still ongoing with the Luas Cross City project, it seems the changes to the layout of the historic area will deviate from the original vision shown in the image below.
New plans are expected to be shown to councillors in the next two weeks and it's expected it will cause controversy amongst various shareholders.
The new plans are thought to be derived from the argument that College Green should return to its former glory as a place to visit and linger in rather than simply function as a place to transit through. It is thought the new plans would include a ban on private cars in that area as well as the construction of a new piazza in front of the Bank of Ireland.
It is also thought that the ban may extend to buses though no final decision has been made on this point yet.
