Killiney beach tea rooms

I was kitesurfing on the beach today and noticed that the tea rooms now has new windows and doors along with other work going on.

Does anyone know what's happening with it?
Are they finally going through with the below

I hope so. In its current condition, it has been a complete blight on the landscape what with the graffiti building up over the years. I had a look at the plans a few times and they look very cool. It appears to be a contemporary take on its former use. Thankfully, they are keeping it as a public amenity partially by way of incorporating a cafe into the overall plans.

Now, I had a look at some of the submissions/observations regarding the proposal which is the typical NIMBY-ism from the locale. A lot of reasoning within them seems to stem from the fact that the decaying function of the beach and its facilities is making the area more exclusive. Thankfully, common sense prevailed within the DLRCOCO in this instance.

Is there any update on this? Walked by it today and they're still doing work on it, the top part seems to be renovated, hopefully they keep going and do up the rest of it and put it to good use.

I hope they've got external shutters included in the budget for all the windows and doors.

Still ongoing work and yes there are a mixture of metal and wooden shutters
