Overall the scheme includes:
Construction of a 134m-long quay wall at the western face of the pier and associated deck area, road access, hard standing and parking;
Construction of a rock armour revetment at the eastern side of the Middle Pier;

Wicklow County Council has granted ten-year planning permission to Greystones Media Campus Ltd for a “state of the art” multi-studio film and media campus in the coastal town of Greystones. The investment, amounting to €150 million, will back the building of a 73,511 m
2 studio space, alongside offices and ancillary production buildings constructed on the 50-acre site at the IDA Business and Technology Park at Greystones. The completion of the project will result in the stage capacity of the Emerald Isle s audiovisual industry being doubled. The economic impact, valued at €1.54 billion gross, will contribute to creating over 1,500 new jobs and will represent a major boost for the small seaside resort and its surroundings.
