An impact assessment (excluding testing) was undertaken on this site in 2007. It is proposed to develop the site of the former rear yard area of Nos 46 and 47 Pearse Street, along with several rear gardens of houses facing on to O’Rahilly Street, as a carpark. This proposal would involve the demolition of a number of extant structures on the site. The site is immediately adjacent to Nenagh Castle. Following that report, the render was removed from a number of walls and they were examined under ministerial consent, specifically to assess if they may be related to the castle. No medieval architectural features were identified in the walls. The project is currently still at planning stage.
