Work is officially set to begin early next month on the long-awaited redevelopment of the fruit and veg market in Dublin.
Purcell Construction has been appointed as the main contractor for the restoration and refurbishment of the 127-year-old redbrick building in Smithfield, closed since 2019.
It is planned to transform the market hall and adjoining yards into a bustling food retail destination, with space for cafés, restaurants, food producers and public events.
Dublin City Council has confirmed that construction will begin in early June.
