Refurbishment work has been completed on new Tearooms at Herbert Park in Dublin.

The work is part of Dublin City Council's Parks and Landscape Services initiative to refurbish older buildings in parks and transform them into more useable spaces for the public.

The building in which the Tearooms are located was formerly a Pavilion in the park.

Councillor Dermot Lacey, on behalf of the Lord Mayor of Dublin Brendan Carr, officially opened the new Tearooms.

He said: "Herbert Park is very popular with locals and visitors alike and is one of the major parks in the south east area of the city. The new walkway that links the playground with the refurbished tearooms has created a real focal point and socialising space within the park. I congratulate Dublin City Council for this initiative as the tearooms will be a very popular addition to the park."
