Planning History Not on record. Summary Description External Bow Street, New Church Street, Friary Avenue, Dublin 8: Corner sited, three-bay, three-storey, red brick court building c. 1990, with limestone dressing to ground floor. Main entrance onto Smithfield. Historical Background Based on the cartographic evidence available, it appears that the existing building has replaced the original buildings that are recorded on the 1847 Town Plans of Dublin, shown below. The present building does not appear to have the same footprint of the building extant on the 1847 Town Plans of Dublin. The current building is a new building and the structures on the 1847 Town Plans of Dublin have gone. 1847 Town Plans of Dublin showing approximate location of Bow Street, New Church Street, Friary Avenue, Dublin 8 
Assessment of Special Interest under the Planning & Development Act 2000 None
The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) has not been carried out for the Dublin City Council area; however, its categories of special interest (architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, technical & social) and its rating system has been used to assess the building in question. The NIAH identifies five categories of rating in seeking to rank buildings. The NIAH rating values are International, National, Regional, Local and Record Only (I, N, R, L, O). Structures which are considered of International, National, and Regional significance are deemed worthy of inclusion on the RPS. This structure is considered not to merit being placed on the RPS and should only be considered for Record Only (O). Record Only is defined as: These are structures or sites that are not deemed to have sufficient presence or inherent architectural or other importance at the time of recording to warrant a higher rating. It is acknowledged, however, that they might be considered further at a future time. Submissions/ Objections Received None
The proposed deletion of the structure was brought forward to the Central Area Committee on 8th October 2013 where it was agreed by the elected members to initiate the procedure to delete it from the RPS.
In accordance with section 55 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, it is recommended that Bow Street, New Church Street, Friary Avenue, Dublin 7: Surviving parts of former distillery and ancillary buildings, including chimney and brick walling at Smithfield and Children’s Court building at corner of New Church Street and Smithfield be deleted from the Record of Protected Structures in the Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017, due to a duplicate entry on the RPS. The making of any deletion from the Record of Protected Structures is a reserved function of the City Council.
