British steakhouse Hawskmoor, which has restaurants in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Liverpool and New York, is gearing up to open in Dublin in 2023.
The group has requested planning permission to transform the former National Irish Bank building on College Green into a restaurant space.
According to restaurant bosses, the expansion into Dublin has been "in the works for a long time" and plans are in place to restore much of the original features in the building and incorporating them into the restaurant when it opens next spring.
