#JOBS – Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company is seeking to recruit a 'Creative Director' for its 'Diaspora Centre' which is due to be built on the Carlisle Pier as part of the harbour's redevelopment.

The new diaspora centre will rival the likes of Sydney Opera House, according to the semi-state body behind the proposal.

Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company estimates the cost of the project at €50 million. Most of this will come from EU and State funding, but some €15 million in donations will be required for the scheme to go ahead.

The Creative Director job spec reads; 'the person will have the quality, experience, ability, vision and energy to lead the Project Team to deliver a best-in-class project plan for this Landmark cultural attraction on the historic Carlisle Pier in Dun Laoghaire Harbour'.
