A major conservation and restoration project on Georgian Leinster House was undertaken between December 2017 and August 2019.
Every aspect of the house from the basement to the attic and roof has been carefully restored and conserved, breathing new life back into the building. With this extensive restoration work carefully managed by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and the Houses of the Oireachtas, Georgian Leinster House has been preserved for future generations of Members as the home of Parliamentary democracy and for our many thousands of welcome visitors each year.
