Upper George's Street runs from the top of Marine Road to the junction at Glenageary Road but I only explored a section of it this visit.

I WILL RETURN LATER IN THE MONTH

When I visited the station it was unusually busy as there was a Cruise Ship at anchor in the the bay and passengers had been encouraged to use the DART service to explore Dublin. According to a member of staff there was a different ship on the previous day and another one scheduled for the following day.

II ONLY RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS NAMED MALLIN STATION

In May 2009 DLR CC launched the public consultation required under Part 8 of the Planning & Development Regulations; a special development review meeting in November 2009 approved the plan by 22 votes to 3, rejecting Richard Boyd Barrett's proposal to locate the library on Carlisle Pier. Sisk Group won the request for tender and began construction in April 2012. Thirteen 40-tonne concrete rafters constructed in County Offaly were each brought on site in a single night. The building was opened to the public for preview on Culture Night (19 September 2014) and Open House Dublin (19 October 2014) and opened for general use on 8 December 2014. The building won the 2014 Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland award categories Best Culture and Best Public Building.

IT WAS OBJECTED TO BY MANY LOCALS DURING THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION PHASES

The gate lodge is at the entrance at the junction of Upper Georges Street, Park Road and Summerhill Road. A bandstand is at the centre of the park, and it also holds a playground, two fountains, a "tearooms" style café in the Victorian shelter, and a Garden for the Blind (with a specially-designed walking trail).There is a group of well maintained public toilets.

THE TEAROOMS ARE WORTH A VISIT

In December 2022 the people of Dun Laoghaire witnessed the re-opening of the Dún Laoghaire Baths and it was a significant milestone for the Council and the people of the town. This well-known landmark has been an important part of the history and heritage of families all over the County.

The East Pier of Dun Laoghaire Harbour is a popular place for walkers, joggers and pleasure seekers. The pier boasts a Victorian shelter and bandstand that was first constructed in 1890 and has undergone extensive renovations the first of which was back in 2004. The East Pier is a popular 2.6 kilometre walking path with a smooth concrete and seashell surface and granite walls. It offers fantastic views of Dún Laoghaire.
