As part of a master plan to improve connections between Dun Laoghaire town centre and its harbour, the wall that long blocked the view of the sea from Marine Road has been demolished.
Removal of the sea wall at St. Michael’s plaza (previously Victoria Wharf) to the right of the Royal St. George Yacht Club has opened up a bright new vista for the town.
It is one of several efforts by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County council to improve the physical connection between the town centre and its waterfront.
The wall will be replaced with specially strengthened glass.
The council is engaged in a number of remedies to improve 'vitality and range of uses along waterfront' including a new public national watersport campus to provide access to the sea at all stages of the tide as well as shore-based public marine leisure facilities across the harbour.
