The proposed static digital display advertising sign mounted on the portico's attic storey will be located within the central cavity of the attic storey (where exists a non-original 'AMBASSADOR' sign) and will be 0.75 m in height and 4.5 m in width. As an alternative option to the removal of the existing 'AMBASSADOR' sign, should the Planning Authority prefer its retention, the static digital display advertising sign mounted on the attic storey would instead be mounted over the existing 'AMBASSADOR' sign (as) is suggested as a possible alternative option on page 188 of the Architectural Heritage Protection: Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2011)). The 2 No. proposed static digital display advertising signs on the portico's front entrance walls will be 1.41 m in height and 0.67 m in width. The total area of existing advertising signage to be removed is 31.93 sq m and the total area of proposed replacement signage to be erected is 5.27 sq m. The proposed development seeks to meet the objective of Dublin City Council to establish an acceptable protocol for the display of event information relating to the use of the building as an exhibition hall and event centre, as outlined on page 14 of Dublin City Council's Scheme of Special Planning Control: O'Connell Street & Environs (2022).
