DEVELOPMENT ON DUN Laoghaire baths will begin in the coming weeks after contracts on the project were signed.
The baths have been derelict for over 20 years and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (DLR) hopes the project will transform the seafront in the town.
The new Dún Laoghaire Baths, which has been designed by DLR’s Architects’ Department, will see a new public café linked to an outdoor terrace with views over Dublin Bay, along with studio workspaces for artists and new life guard facilities.
A new jetty and changing areas will provide access to the water’s edge for swimmers and landing points for canoes, kayaks and other water sports equipment.
It’s envisaged the development will take around 22 months to complete and will open to the public in the spring of 2020, the council says.
“The new Dún Laoghaire Baths will be a long-term, public amenity for the area and county. It will provide not only a connection between Newtownsmith and the People’s Park, but will also link the town of Dún Laoghaire with its seafront. The project will breathe new life into the seafront and will attract more visitors to Dún Laoghaire town.”
Contracts were signed today between dlr and the joint venture of SIAC and Mantovani Group.
Speaking at the contract signing, Cathaoirleach of DLR, Councillor Tom Murphy, said:
“This is a very exciting time for the county of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. The Dún Laoghaire Baths is a renowned landmark in Dún Laoghaire town and the development of the Baths site represents a significant long-term investment in this public facility for residents and visitors to our county.”
The €10 million project has been part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

Lad probably fell out a window like all the other deceased Putin critics.
@Pat O’Leary: BBC reported that he fell from the hotel window. Funny how anyone that criticises that Tosspot Putin they end up out a window or end up having heart attacks or strokes.
Russian sausage tycoon Pavel Antov dies in Indian hotel fall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64101437
The Russian elite must be restless at the moment wondering who is next? It wouldn’t surprise me to see Putin himself take a fall at some stage
Modi a supporter of Putin. Solved.
Advice to Russian Policy Critics: Stay away from windows or people with umbrellas. Just saying….
Obviously a 2 shots in the back of the head suicide
Putin must be getting nervous, what with so many people falling dead, like on the battlefield, out of windows, oops! my car just happened to blow up.. Putin and his ideological regime, must be stopped. They spin lies to their own people to cover their own psychopathic ideals.. “MURDERERS” oops! I must be next, mustn’t get too near a window.. watch the stairs etc.. The West was never a threat to Russia. But Russia under Putin is a pariah and can never be trusted again…
Someone living in a high rise needs to invite Putin over to see their new curtains.
Defenestrations of Odisha!
The body of the recently deceased Sausage Tycoon will be cremated next week.. 5 minutes on each side, it’s what he would have wanted
have your say
