Fáilte Ireland is seeking to establish a food hall and cultural space at the vacant St Andrew's Church on Dublin's Suffolk Street. The project aims to reinvigorate the historic building and boost both cultural and economic value for the city. The proposed food hall would showcase local and Irish produce in a high-quality setting, generating an estimated 30 to 40 jobs. While the Dublin City Council initially invalidated the application on technical grounds, Fáilte Ireland intends to resubmit the proposal.

Ms McCarthy added: “It is envisaged that the proposed food hall will showcase the best of local and Irish produce within a very high-quality setting which will not only reinvigorate but repurpose part of our capital city’s historic building inventory.”While Dublin City Council has invalidated the application on technical points, Fáilte Ireland is likely to to relodge the proposal. Planning documents state that the new food hall has the potential to generate 30 to 40 full and part-time jobs.
A separate planning report lodged with the application by David Mulcahy Planning Consultants said the proposed new use “will bring life back to this vacant building which is one of the most prominent buildings in the city”.
