A local councillor has backed the new planned redevelopment of the Crumlin Shopping Centre as a "very good" plan, and is also calling for the owners to include a civic centre in place of a library.
The iconic shopping centre was first built in the 1970s and at the height of its popularity contained once had 49 shops, a bank, a pub, hairdressers and more. But since the 2010s, shops have gradually started to close and many will remember how in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic Texas Fried Chicken was the most recent to pull out of the shopping centre.
As previously reported by Dublin Live, Dunnes Stores has lodged a planning application for a huge redevelopment of the shopping centre. Speaking to Dublin Live this week as two new images of the proposed redevelopment have been shared, Independents 4 Change Cllr Pat Dunne described it as a "very good" plan for the area.
