The sculpture, also known as the &#8220;Golden Ball&#8221; but I thought that it was known as the &#8220;Money Tree&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Central Bank&#8217;s lobby contained Abstract Beaded Pattern, a large artwork by Patrick Scott. It was put into storage prior to the Bank&#8217;s move from the premises in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central Plaza, also known as the Central Bank of Ireland Building for its former tenant, is an office building on Dame Street in Temple Bar, Dublin. It was the headquarters of the Central Bank of Ireland from 1979 to 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is Ireland&#8217;s only suspended structure building&#8217;, with its 8 floors hanging from central concrete cores. Each floor was built on the ground and then raised into place. It was controversial for being out of scale with its surroundings and for being constructed 30 feet (9.1 m) taller than approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2022, the building was undergoing renovations including the addition of a rooftop venue and observation deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-background wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"4297\" data-src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1.jpg\" alt=\"THE NEW CENTRAL PLAZA ON DAME STREET 007\" class=\"wp-image-4297 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1.jpg 1600w, http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/localhost:10015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/THE-NEW-CENTRAL-PLAZA-ON-DAME-STREET-FEATURING-THE-MONEY-TREE-212938-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px;
