More than €1m has been allocated to improve amenities in Dun Laoghaire.

The funding was given under the Better Energy Communities Programme, awarded by the Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI).

Fine Gael TD for Dun Laoghaire, Mary Mitchell O'Connor, has welcomed the allocation. She said: "Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council partnered with Dun Laoghaire leisure services and Irish Water to carry out a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades on public lighting, public heritage buildings, on community centres, leisure centres, sheltered housing and water services.

"It is very important that we create a society based on sustainable energy structures and I am pleased that this money is being used to upgrade older buildings and systems; these are facilities used by all of the community on a daily basis."
