The derelict baths site at Dun Laoghaire will be developed following a vote by Councillors to proceed with plans first outlined by Afloat.ie back in April.
The €2.5 million project was given the green light by the Department of the Environment.
The revised plans will see the baths – last used 20 years ago as the Rainbow Rapids – developed into artists' studios with a gallery and café space.
Among other changes, the old saltwater pool space will be filled in to create a green space between the People's Park and the East Pier.
