County Hall, Dún Laoghaire

County Hall is a municipal facility in Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Ireland.

History

The building, which was designed by John Loftus Robinson in the Lombard Romanesque style, was completed in 1879.[1] It was intended to contain municipal offices, a public hall and a large courthouse under one roof.[1] It was extensively refurbished in 1990[2] and renamed County Hall on the creation of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council in 1993.[3] The county council initiated a further refurbishment at a cost of €3 million in 2017.[4]
