One historic Dublin area is opened to the public once again after being redeveloped in a major overhaul.
Popular Malahide Village Green now has a whole host of new amenities as well as a brand new layout in a bid to become not only Dublin's but Ireland's favourite tourist area.
The redevelopment of the seaside village, spearheaded by Fingal County Council in 2014, saw a series of improvements.
These included the installation of new quality paving, street furniture, the re-contouring of the area as well as the planting of new grass and trees.
The Town Plaza in Malahide - designed by Murray and Associates Landscape Architecture - has been enlarged and will be used for cultural and commercial activities.
Speaking on the completion of the project, Mayor of Fingal David Healy said it was great to see the Green fully completed and open again.
He said: "It is a wonderful example of the continued hard work of everyone involved during such difficult times. The corona restrictions have delayed this project but the commitment to provide an improved amenity for Malahide did not change and this green space will provide a needed break into nature in the middle of the town for the residents."
Chief Executive of Fingal County Council AnnMarie Farrelly added: "The renovated area will strengthen the link between The Green and Malahide village while creating a strong focal point and identity within the village. It will also enhance the coastal views that can be enjoyed from the open space."
