Spencer Dock

As of the 21st century, the area has been redeveloped with occupants of the Spencer Dock development including the Convention Centre Dublin, PricewaterhouseCoopers' Irish headquarters, Credit Suisse and TMF Group.

The main building in the area was previously the former North Wall railway station which formed the terminus bringing goods and passengers to the quays.

[citation needed] Spencer Dock is served by the Docklands railway station on Sheriff Street, at the north end of the site.

This station, proposed to connect to an extended Luas Red line, was deferred due to the Post-2008 Irish economic downturn.
