Abbey Quarter and the wider area’s public realm improvements are being supported by the URDF (Urban Regeneration and Development Fund), an investment programme of ‘Project Ireland 2040’, established to support the sustainable regeneration of large urban areas. The projects backed by the URDF include:
Marrying the old with the new, the Riverside Park takes you through the former St. Francis Abbey Brewery and into a modern skatepark that has been designed for and by our own skateboarding community, who now have a park of their own
Public realm areas in front of the Brewhouse building and the courtyard behind provide ample space for community gatherings and events
Public Realm
The Mayfair Library opened to the public in 2024, and this URDF-supported project focused on developing the public realm areas surrounding the building.
Two early 19th-century buildings on the bank of the Nore, at the entrance to the Abbey Quarter Riverside Park, have been refurbished to a high standard and are currently housing art exhibitions open to the public.
Public Realm
The development includes a new urban street through the Abbey Quarter, as well as an urban park and public plaza around St. Francis Abbey, linking to the Riverside Park. This development is now under construction.
