Group of derelict cottages in Portrane to be brought back into use under €4m restoration plan
The houses on Portrane Avenue were owned by the HSE and were previously used to house workers from the nearby St Ita’s psychiatric hospitalA group of 14 100-year-old derelict cottages in the north Co Dublin seaside village of Portrane will be brought back into use under a €4 million restoration scheme from Fingal County Council.
The houses line the entrance avenue to St Ita’s and are part the hospital’s architectural conservation area , a designation which meant the council had to meet high heritage protection standards in their renewal. It is also an environmentally sustainable project he said. “The most sustainable building you can provide is the one that’s already been built.”
