The historic 18th century building was designed by James Gandon as a Customs House for Dublin Port & first opened in 1791.
During the Irish Civil war in 1921, the building was extensively damaged by fire but has since been renovated & restored.
Further restoration and cleaning of stonework was carried out during the 1980's.
The Customs House currently houses Ireland's Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
