•DÚN LAOGHAIRE-RATHDOWN COUNTY COUNCIL PROPOSES €140 MILLION REDEVELOPMENT OF THE DÚN LAOGHAIRE BATHS SITE
•Wednesday, 13th April 2005: Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council proposed to its Elected Members that the local authority should undertake a €140 million redevelopment of the Dún Laoghaire Baths site.
•The core of the proposal was an international standard Waterworld and indoor leisure complex which includes a 25 metre pool and extensive leisure and sports facilities; new civic plazas, suitable for ice-skating in winter and outdoor concerts in summer; the existing inaccessible foreshore between the derelict baths site and the East pier would be transformed into a new public Maritime Garden, as large as the nearby People’s Park and a new 400 m. coastal promenade which could continue uninterrupted between Sandycove and the East Pier.
•The new amenities would be sheltered from the prevailing north/east aspect of the site by 180 apartments, shops and restaurants, underground parking and a 10-storey elegant glass tower “lighthouse” at the Sandycove end of the site, with a public viewing area at the top.
