Summary

No. 24 Sarsfield Street is a terraced, single-bay, three-storey former bakery of c. 1890 with an elaborate early twentieth-century limestone shopfront and a three-sided canted-bay oriel window at first-floor level. It is a protected structure (RPS 3464, NIAH 21512009) in the Limerick City Metropolitan District. (High) [1]

The building has been empty since Permanent TSB closed the branch and relocated to 131 O'Connell Street in 2015, and was being marketed on lease by 2019. (High) [4] [5]

Two permissions have since been granted to convert the building to mixed use: reg. ref. 21/573 (5 apartments and a shop, granted 2022) and reg. ref. 23/60179 (amended scheme of 9 apartments and a ground-floor shop, granted 2023). Despite consent, there is no verified evidence that works have commenced. (Medium) [6] [3]
