"The works, set to take two years, consist of emergency repairs and stabilisation to the now-derelict structure, and were expected to start in July. It follows the installation of safe access routes, propping, and removal of vegetation around the building earlier this year, key steps in ensuring its potential return to use. It is funded through a €9.5m grant from the Department of Housing and Local Government through the government's Urban Regeneration and Development Fund."
"Dublin's Lord Mayor Ray McAdam said the beginning of the works "marks an essential and long-awaited step towards securing the Markets' future". "As a city, we are determined to protect our architectural heritage, honour the legacy of those who shaped it, and ensure that this historic landmark can once again play a meaningful role in the life of Dublin," he said."
Emergency repair and stabilisation works for the now-derelict Iveagh Markets are scheduled to run for two years and were expected to start in July. Preparatory measures already completed include safe access routes, propping, and removal of vegetation to enable potential return to use. Kelbuild Ltd will undertake the latest phase under oversight by conservation architects Howley Hayes Cooney, focusing on roof, gutter and rainwater disposal repairs plus stabilisation of internal walls and the parapet. Funding is provided by a €9.5m grant from the Department of Housing and Local Government via the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund. City officials emphasized heritage protection and community significance.
