ESB plans to redevelop its headquarters in Dublin have been given the green light.
The building on Fitzwilliam Square is to be demolished and redeveloped at a cost of €150m.
The construction of the current building caused controversy when it was built nearly 50 years ago after a number of 18th Century houses were knocked to make way for it.
A plan to reconstruct those facades has now been dropped, with plans for a "respectful" modern building to be erected.
