A Dublin youth club has reopened after undergoing refurbishment works worth €1.6m.

The Bru Crumlin Youth Club was officially relaunched by Dublin Lord Mayor Emer Costello on St. Agnes Road, in Crumlin Dublin last week.

Lord Mayor Costello said the provision of community and leisure facilities is a key priority for Dublin City Council.

"The Bru Youth Club has a long history of service in the Crumlin area and it is fitting that it now has fantastic new facilities which will give young people the opportunity to meet and have some fun," said the lord mayor.

"I hope that the Bru Youth Club will continue to give its users a voice, a sense of community and a reason to be proud."

The council carried out works on Bru Crumlin with funding provided by the Department of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs under the auspices of the Young Peoples Facilities and Services Fund (YPFSF).

The extensive structural refurbishment and refit includes such facilities as a new computer room, a multi media room and a fully equipped kitchen/coffee shop.

Around 150 young people from the Crumlin area are expected to use the new facilities.
