Plans unveiled to transform St Michael's Pier in Dún Laoghaire
Local authorities have launched a public consultation regarding ambitious proposals to upgrade St Michael's Pier with a brand new public plaza and improved accessibility features. Residents and visitors are invited to share their feedback on the harbour revitalisation scheme before the deadline in October.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has announced an ambitious public consultation regarding proposed upgrades to St Michael's Pier. The regional authority is inviting local residents, businesses, and visitors to examine the plans and share their feedback on the transformative project.
The initiative centres on constructing a brand new ramp and a set of steps to seamlessly connect Harbour Plaza with the lower level of the pier, ensuring full wheelchair accessibility. Additionally, the lower pier area will be completely revitalised into a modern public plaza featuring a gift kiosk, extensive planting, comfortable seating, updated railings, and enhanced viewing spots across the harbour. These improvements are specifically designed to forge a stronger pedestrian connection between arriving cruise passengers and the bustling Dún Laoghaire town centre.
The public consultation period is currently underway, running until 21 October 2026. Interested parties can examine the detailed architectural drawings and submit their observations or views through the official council website.
