Club Outing – Sunset at Dun Laoghaire

On Saturday 28th March evening the sun will set at 6.52pm.

A brief history of the Pier. The first stone was laid in a ceremony by the Earl
of Whitworth, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in May 1817.The stone was
inscribed “In the hope that it may be the cause of life to the seamen, wealth
to the citizens, Revenue to the Crown and benefit the nation”. The estimated
cost in 1817 for the harbour construction was £801,159.00 however the final
cost was £690,717.00. The total enclosed area is 250 acres, and the harbour
mouth is 750 feet wide.

The plan is to meet at the East Pier (the one with the Bandstand) by the
coffee truck at 6pm where we can then walk to the best position to catch the
sun setting over the harbour.

Niki McGrath will lead this outing
