A protest made up of musicians, artists and drag queens is to descend on An Bord Pleanala in an effort to stop the destruction of a beloved Dublin beer garden.
The second Rock for Culture event will this time focus on the planning authority's offices after a protest outside the Holiday Inn hotel that is to be extended on O'Connell Street. It's taking place in an effort to show what will be lost if Fibber Magees is forced to shut its famous beer garden. If plans go ahead, the Living Room and Murrays Pub will also be affected.
Dublin City Council have approved plans for a six-storey extension, which is designed to provide an additional 95 guest rooms. The extension will bring to 309 the number of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express hotel, which is located on the corner of O'Connell Street and Cathal Brugha Street.
