Dublin City Council have rejected for a second time plans by developer Johnny Ronan to build the tallest tower in the country at Tara Street.
The 22 storey block would house a hotel, rooftop restaurant and bar, as well as a side entrance to Tara Street DART station.
It would beat a record height set by the Google HQ in the south docklands, previously held by Liberty Hall.
Richard Coleman, Townscape and Heritage Consultant with the Tara Street Tower project says Mr Ronan plans to appeal the decision.
