Planners tell Man U to keep a low profile

It won't be all plain sailing for Treasury Holdings in its plans to redevelop the landmark former ICS building at O'Connell Bridge in the centre of Dublin. The planners are to allow the office building to be used for a shop and restaurant, but have come out against the addition of two extra floors for penthouse apartments overlooking O'Connell Street. Manchester United were originally lined up for the shop, but they may not like the restrictions imposed by the planners, who are intent on minimising the commercial role of the building. Man U won't be allowed to stacks its red jerseys too near the windows and signs will have to be kept a minimum.
