We are pleased to announce the launch of the audio-visual exhibition Stirring Memories: Stories of Yesterday, on Thursday 24th February 2022 at 2:30PM. The exhibition will be on display on Level 3, dlr LexIcon, Haigh Terrace, Moran Park, Dún Laoghaire from the 24th of February to the 30th of April.

What was life like in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown over the years? Storyteller Helena Byrne posed this question to members of local day care centres. Enjoy these stirring memories of trips to the Baths on sunny days, shopping in the much-loved local shops of the past such as Lee’s; and getting dressed up
