Leinster House to re-open to public after €18m revamp spanning 3 years

The historic Leinster House building is set to re-open to the public in the coming weeks after a near three-year revamp and an €18m budget that is double what was originally planned.

Oireachtas officials have confirmed the 272-year-old building will be fully available again for tours and visitors from "culture night" on September 20 after scaffolding finally came down on the facility over the weekend, opening up the majority of the site to onlookers.
