Kilmainham Mill Stabilisation Works Successfully Completed

Dublin City Council has announced the successful completion of stabilisation works at Kilmainham Mill and will shortly begin the process of developing a long-term restoration strategy.

Kilmainham Mill appears to be the last early 19th century flour mill in the city of Dublin and is likely the last remaining textile mill in Ireland.

The stabilisation works provide safe access to the building complex and include the following:


• Roof repairs

• Propping of floors

• Removal of Asbestos

• Protection of industrial machinery

• Treatment of Japanese Knotweed

The works began in August 2022 and have now been completed at a cost of €1.7m.

The process for determining the future use of the complex will begin in the coming months, with the development of an agreed masterplan. In the interim, Dublin City Council has identified parts of the mill that could be made accessible to the community and public under the guise of 'meanwhile uses' such as the hosting of events including pop-up markets and exhibitions.

Dublin City Council is committed to the sustainable development of a new cultural institution at Kilmainham Mill.
