The restoration and repair of the iconic bandstand in St Stephen's Green will cost almost €300k it has emerged.
The structure was closed in 2021 due to structural issues and has remained shut to public access since over safety fears. Since then there has been reports and surveys on the condition of the bandstand which is in need of architectural conservation.
A contractor was appointed earlier this month to carry out the works which will cost around €290,000. The repairs will be structural and focused on the columns, plinth and decking.
