Bord Gáis Networks Services Centre Project Bord Gáis Networks intends to focus its operations in Dublin into a single
location through the development of a new Networks Services Centre (NSC) building. This new 2 storey building will be a leading example of sustainable, energy efficient design aiming at a low carbon footprint whilst also creating a modern work environment for Bord Gáis Networks and its staff.
The building will be located adjacent to the existing Bord Gáis Networks offices at
Donmoy House, St. Margaret’s Road in Finglas. Planning permission was granted by
Fingal Co. Co. in September 2009.
Construction of the 5,200 sq.m building will commence in Spring 2010 and is due
for completion by Autumn 2011. The integrated sustainable design approach for
the NSC reflects Bord Gáis Networks’ commitment to environmental protection,
energy conservation and sustainable development.
The NSC building combines microclimate control, extensive external landscaping, and a compact building volume with low energy sustainable design.
Key features include:
l Geothermal Heat Pump. A closed loop geothermal borehole has been employed for heating. This system takes advantage of the constant temperatures deep in the ground where water is pumped to depths over 100m deep and cooled or heated in a similar way to a refrigerator.
l Photovoltaic Panels. On the face of the central tower there is an array of high specification photovoltaic panels to generate electricity from the sun’s solar energy. Complementing the photovoltaic panels, there is also a series of solar- thermal panels. These use the sun to heat water, which can then be used in the domestic hot water system.
l Office Ventilation. The office environment is controlled by a low energy, low velocity displacement ventilation system. This uses significantly less energy and material than higher velocity systems.
l Rainwater Harvesting. Rain water will be stored in the green roof to reduce the impact on the city’s drainage system. The risk of flooding is further reduced by allowing the water to drain naturally on the site and to be stored in a specially designed water feature.
l BREEAM. How energy efficient a building is, is measured by it’s BREEAM score. The new NSC building will have one of the highest scores in Ireland.
The new NSC building will incorporate a number of the Bord Gáis Networks primary functions which are currently housed in the existing facility on St. Margaret’s Road, including:
l 24 Hour national distribution gas control for Ireland
l 24 Hour emergency response for Dublin and surrounding counties
l National Training Centre
l National Distribution Safety and Quality Centre
l National Distribution Operations and Construction Departments.

introduction key features of the NSC building safety and environment project details
For further information on the Networks Services Centre Project drop in to the Public Information Evening at the Ardmore Hotel, Finglas Road, Dublin 11, on Thursday 25th March 2010 from 4pm to 8pm.
Safety and environmental protection are of paramount importance to Bord Gáis Networks and an integral part of our business and all our operations.
During the construction phase of the project, every effort will be made to minimise
the impact on the local community and to keep disruption to a minimum. Bord Gáis
Networks has employed
an independent ecologist
and traffic management
consultancy for the duration
of the project. We would
greatly appreciate the patience
and understanding of the
local community during the
construction period.
Bord Gáis Networks will ensure
that all construction activities
carried out on-site will be conducted in a safe and environmentally responsible manner
and in compliance with all planning permission conditions.
project communications
We will communicate with the local community and local businesses on a regular basis throughout the project and our Project Team are available to answer any queries you may have.
A dedicated webpage has been developed for the NSC Project, which will feature more
detailed information on the design and construction of the building. Regular updates
and images of the construction progress will be available.

This book, and the exhibition catalogue it contains, showcases the work and achievements of the goldsmithsand silversmiths of the city of Limerick. Drawing extensively on new research, and beautifully illustrated,it highlights the achievements of an almost forgotten group of craftspeople of considerable skill and artistrywhose work deserves better. The origin in the Limerick area of so many of Ireland’s greatest treasures, suchas ancient hoards of gold jewellery and the incomparable Ardagh chalice, leads to the conclusion thatskilled goldsmiths were at work in the Limerick area for many centuries. The names of these talented earlycraftsmen don’t survive; happily some of their work does, testimony to the high standards of their craft.
Throughout the turbulent history of Limerick, goldsmiths and silversmiths plied their craft, and contributedfully to the civic life of the city, at least four serving as mayor. It is hoped that this book and the exhibitionwhich it complements, will do much to bring to life in a new age, a solid appreciation of the work of makerssuch as John Bucknor, Robert Smith, Jonathan Buck, Collins Brehon, Maurice Fitzgerald and the peerlessJoseph Johns.
This profusely illustrated book shows rare and precious ecclesiastical pieces of both Roman Catholic andAnglican traditions, impressive and imposing civic, ceremonial and commemorative pieces, as well as aplethora of items of domestic and personal plate, ranging from a splendid soup tureen, to a modest teaspoonof simple and naive beauty.
The silver and gold trophies and medals won by generations of Limerick sportsmen and women form anabsorbing part of the exhibition and are uniquely showcased here, having been won in contests of one sortor another, in places as diverse as Cardiff, Calcutta, Croke Park and Clogheen!
A particularly valuable element of the book is the detailed directory of the goldsmiths and allied trades ofLimerick up to the present day. It also includes a bibliography for further reading and study.
John Bowen is Chairman and Chief Executive of The Bowen Group, a substantial Irish construction andproperty group. He is a Chartered Engineer by profession and holds a BE from UCC, as well as an MBA fromthe University of Warwick. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers of Ireland. He has long been astudent of Irish provincial silver, its history and context, with a special emphasis on the silver of Cork.
Conor O’Brien retired from a career in the pharmaceutical industry in County Wicklow in 1998. He holdsa BSc and a PhD from University College Dublin and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Over theyears he has devoted much of his free time to researching old Irish silver, and has published several paperson the subject in specialist journals.
