Planning has been lodged for a long awaited redevelopment of Crumlin Shopping Centre, which has been falling into a state of derelict since the 2010s.
Dunnes Stores-owned company Better Value Limited has submitted planning which would see the site transformed with a new Dunnes anchor unit, a food market, cafe, four independent units, a gym and library.
Planning documents which have now been lodged with Dublin City Council state that the scheme provides “for a vibrant shopping centre” that would replace the existing “dilapidated” Crumlin Shopping Centre.

A look at the proposed redevelopment.
Responding to the news on social media earlier this month, local Sinn Féin rep Ciarán Ó Meachair wrote:
Dunnes Stores have announced plans to redevelop the Crumlin Shopping Centre site. The plans would include the demolition of all existing structures, a café, food court & gym to be developed and the size of Dunnes itself on the site to be expanded.
Given the site has been shamefully largely left derelict for a long time, many people will agree its positive to see something finally happening.
