Dun Laoghaire residents call for Dunnes Stores building to be declared derelict

Dun Laoghaire residents have signed a petition to have a Dunnes Stores-owned building in the middle of the town added to the Derelict Registry List.

The "complete eyesore" of a building, on Upper Georges Street, has been left vacant and unused for almost 20 years, said local councillor Lorraine Hall. She added that Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council sent a surveyor who determined that Dunnes Stores is “doing just about enough to keep it off the Derelict Sites Register”.

Cllr Hall told Dublin Live: “The buildings are in such a terrible condition that the council had to pay to put up hoarding on the front with murals to try and distract from the dirty, neglected, ugly space of the building.”
