Dún Laoghaire Plans €230m Harbour Development
A multi-million Euro development project which includes a world-class diaspora centre, berthing for large cruisers, marine service companies, food and beverage outlets and 300 new homes has been proposed by the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company.
New jobs are also ready to sail into the area as the promoters say the project would create 1,000 jobs in areas including services and tourism.
According to the website www.unearthore.com the plan, on which company officials and Dún Laoghaire traders briefed the Irish Minister for Transport, will go on public display on June 11th, at the terminal of the harbour.
The planned €230m project aims to position Dún Laoghaire as a marine, leisure and tourism destination of international calibre with a diaspora centre on a par with the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
The centre, which will have a target of attracting one million visitors annually, is to be located on the Carlisle Pier.
The ferry terminal building is to be demolished as part of the development, freeing space for residential, commercial and leisure use.
The plan claims the development would bring about a huge increase in public access to the waterfront, new slipways for the general public to use, and a new public marina.
