Treasury Holdings has secured full planning permission for the €800m regeneration of Ballymun Town Centre in north Dublin.

The new Spring Cross development represents the largest mixed-use town centre permission that has ever been granted in Ireland.

The company is promising 2,000 construction jobs in a scheme that will take three years to complete.
