Joseph O’Connor oversaw the restoration of Primark, Bank Buildings, Belfast. In 2018 a devastating fire broke out in the B1 building, built by Lynn c1900, leaving a burnt out shell. The building was stabilised, the locality re-opened to pedestrians, and the exterior restored by expert craftspeople. The store was engineered to sit inside the shell on new foundations which support the roof and cladding, preserving a Belfast landmark.
