Your Opinion: Kilmainham Mill Master Plan

Today, the 3rd of November, is the last day for the public to have their say on the future of the Kilmainham Mill, which is the last remaining, largely unaltered, early 19th century flour mill in Dublin. It is probably the last remaining fulling (cloth shrinking) mill in Ireland. It is a protected structure on the Record of Protected Structures, and it is now in the ownership of Dublin City Council.

The Council wants to develop a vision to underpin the medium and long-term use of the Mill. Please contribute your opinion. It is not a long survey and is easy to fill out. The survey will ask for your name and email, but your response will be anonymous. Please participate.
