HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE FUTURE ....Google has pulled out of talks to lease the Sorting Office, a seven-storey office building under construction in Dublin’s docklands.

The news will send a chill through the Irish commercial property sector which had been bracing for the impact of an anticipated shift to higher numbers of people working from home even after the Covid pandemic abates.


"After much deliberation, Google has decided not to proceed with leasing the Sorting Office," said a statement from a Google spokesperson.

The spokesperson thanked property developers Mapletree Investments, which bought the offices last year.

"We are grateful to Mapletree for all their work with us, and wish them well in the successful letting of this excellent office building. We are committed to Ireland and continue to invest in our Irish operations."

The decision not to add to Google’s Dublin office space is likely to reflect the belief among business leaders that more staff are set to work from home well into the future as a result of the experience during the Covid lockdown. Ulster Bank paused its search for a new Dublin headquarters over the summer in order to reassess what it believes are new post-Covid space requirements.

In July Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees that the bulk of its 200,000-strong global workforce will have the option to work from home until the end of June 2021.

Any retreat from the traditional office will be a major blow to the commercial property sector, much of it backed by pension funds, which shifted radically over the past decade to focus on construction of super high-spec, large scale and centrally located offices targeted at the needs of foreign direct investment and large scale digital economy firms in particular.

Google itself helped kick-start that shift with its 2011 deal to buy the Montevetro building at Grand Canal in Dublin for €99.9m.

The Sorting Office under development by Pat Crean’s Marlet Group on the site of An Post’s former Cardiff Lane sorting office is a high-end, 18,766 square metre property big enough to accommodate 2,000 staff.


It is located close to the Montevetro building as well as to Facebook’s headquarters and the Bord Gáis Theatre in Dublin’s docklands.

Google had been in talks to lease the offices since at least October, which are close to its existing campus on Barrow Street where the technology giant had around 8,000 staff working at the start of the pandemic in offices that feature work spaces, canteens and leisure facilities including an onsite swimming pool and gym.


SO DONT BE MINDING THE BOLLOX THAT POST BREXIT BRITISH JOBS ARE COMING HERE .GOOGLE KNOW THE PROSPECT OF A TAX UNIFICATION THEY ARE READY TO MOVE  OVER NIGHT .

Kiss your private pensions goodbye as well ...Any retreat from the traditional office will be a major blow to the commercial property sector, much of it backed by pension funds, which shifted radically over the past decade to focus on construction of super high-spec, large scale and centrally located offices targeted at the needs of foreign direct investment and large scale digital economy firms in particular.

Dollymount Just to put a bit of stiffness into your trouser furniture and keep you happy .I did a gig in 2012 @Microsoft where I forecast the Brits would leave the EU .I also said if they did Ireland would have to reconsider out position .If the EU do decide to bring in a universal tax rate and the Big tec and Pharmas leave then we might Irexit and default on any Coin we owe the ECB as we will not be able to repay it out of current tax income .Our economy is about as stable as our Soccer team a few good results and we are booking match tickets only to fall apart .

In other news, UK minister announces he's a little bit pregnant...

Northern Ireland Secretary admits new bill will 'break international law' (BBC)

Quote
A government minister has said a new bill to amend the UK's Brexit deal with the EU will "break international law".  Concerns had been raised about legislation being brought forward which could change parts of the withdrawal agreement, negotiated last year. Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis conceded it would go against the treaty in a "specific and limited way".

Former PM Theresa May warned the change could damage "trust" in the UK over future trade deals with other states.

The permanent secretary to the Government Legal Department, Sir Jonathan Jones, has announced he is resigning from government in light of the bill, making him the sixth senior civil servant to leave Whitehall this year.
 Sir Jonathan, who is the government's most senior lawyer, is understood to have believed the plans went too far in breaching the government's obligations under international law.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer condemned the bill and accused No 10 of "reopening old arguments that had been settled", saying the "focus should be on getting a [trade] deal done" with the EU.

If its a hard border no deal then it will be Worstererer than anybody thought especially Ken Ireland imports 80% of its baking flower .Diageo import most of the cream for Baylies from Ulster Bitain .We also import ALL of our Insulin But the real issue is We import a lot of parts for medical devices from the UK .If they are outside the EU their Kitemark Standard might not be acceptable in the EU so production in Irish factories might grind to a halt .This is not just about some imaginary line between some desolate kips this side of the border and on the other side .
