The US embassy has applied to Dublin City Council to rezone the old Jurys Hotel in Ballsbridge for a new embassy building.
The US government is understood to have agreed to buy what is now the Ballsbridge Hotel from developer Joe O’Reilly’s Chartered Land. However, the move requires a change in the city development plan from the current residential zoning to enterprise and employment use.
