Liffey Valley Shopping Centre has been given the go-ahead for a major expansion.

South Dublin County Council approved plans that include an additional 22,000 sq m retail space, a major new civic plaza and a 2,500-seat, Olympic-sized indoor ice arena.

The latter will be capable of hosting international ice skating competitions, ice hockey matches and ice entertainment performances.
