Medical centre planned for O'Connell Street

With Dublin's O'Connell Street still trying to shake off its notorious reputation for assault and battery, it's hardly surprising that the street should have its own medical centre. And it is going to get one, because planning has been granted for a consulting room in the basement of 5 Lower O'Connell Street. Upstairs, there's a thriving pharmacy, so patients can pick up their extra bandages on the way out.
