Vote on Dun Laoghaire baths site plans

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / July 07 2003: Vote on Dun Laoghaire baths site plans

The future of the derelict Dún Laoghaire baths site will be decided this evening when Dún Laoghaire Rathdown county councillors vote on two development proposals. One of the developments under consideration is a 104-bedroom hotel and thalasso (seawater) spa, by Bennett Construction. The second proposal, by the Pierse Group, is a 60-unit "apart-hotel", comprising office and retail space. Tonight's vote goes ahead against the backdrop of strong opposition from many locals who believe the site should be restored to its former glory and opened as a public amenity accessible to all.
