Project Description
The former parade ground, now known as Ebrington Square, has been transformed into one of the largest public event spaces on the island of Ireland. The array of remaining buildings at Ebrington reflects the evolution of the site over 180 years and is of great importance to the historic and architectural fabric of the city.
Through the current construction projects, Ebrington will be positioned as a desirable destination for visitors to the city. Regeneration works are progressing well and Ebrington is benefiting from private sector development, fostering a thriving area for business and recreational use for people of the city and region
Ongoing work continues to create and maintain medium-term construction jobs and has to date created new long-term employment in a range of sectors including hotel, restaurants, retail, offices, and creative industries which will continue to increase with the planned investment.
