A plan to turn a city centre museum into deluxe apartments has been refused.
Dublin City Council has refused planning permission to convert the former Georgian House Museum on the corner of Merrion Square in Dublin, into luxury apartments.
The Georgian House Museum at 29 Fitzwilliam Street, opened in 1991 to celebrate Dublin’s status as European Cultural Capital, was operated by the ESB and the National Museum of Ireland as an exhibition of “Dublin home life from 1790 to 1820”.
