Cruise-to-town connection

At Dún Laoghaire Harbour, the works are intended to make travel easier for cruise passengers between the harbour and Dún Laoghaire town centre, reinforcing the terminal’s connection to the surrounding urban area.

Lower pier upgrades

The lower pier area would be reconfigured as a public plaza with planting, seating, a gift kiosk, new railings and harbour views. Associated works include removal of existing stairs, railings and sections of wall, repairs, and changes to parking and vehicle routes.
