Dublin City Hall

The team behind major conservation work at Dublin City Hall has been awarded a silver medal for exceptional merit by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland. At an awards ceremony in Dublin yesterday, the RIAI also presented a silver medal for restoration to the Office of Public Works, in conjunction with Shaffrey Associates Architects, for work undertaken at Ardfert Cathedral in Kerry. Farmleigh House by the Office of Public Works and Maynooth Castle by de Blacam and Meagher Architects were also highly commended for conservation. The awards, which take place every three years, seek to recognise exceptional work in conservation and restoration. They are presented to an architect or architectural practice for projects of exceptional merit which are completed within a specified three-year period. This year's awards relate to 1999, 2000 and 2001. Paul Arnold Architects, in a joint venture with Dublin City Council architects, received the award for Dublin City Hall.
