A €70m children’s science museum in Dublin is to be completed by Christmas 2029, despite there being no government funding to build it, the Irish Examiner has learned. The OPW said a final arbitration decision between itself and the charity proposing the museum — known as Irish Children’s Museum Limited (ICML) — means “works shall be carried out and completed on or before December 25, 2029”, including time required to procure a contractor. ICML recently pledged to raise €25m in contributions towards the construction of the museum, which has been mooted for over 25 years. However, the OPW, which manages the State’s property portfolio, reiterated that a government department or agency willing to fund the build has “yet to be identified”. “This is a project with no sponsoring department, no secured funding, no allocation in the National Development Plan, and therefore no path to delivery,” he said.
