Historical Reference

Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company has applied to Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for planning permission to repair and reinstate the Victoria Fountain at its original site in the Harbour area.

The Victoria Fountain described by architectural historian Peter Pearson in his book 'Kingstown' as: "a beautiful monument, a defenseless symbol of the bygone age", was erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to Dún Laoghaire in 1900.
