Dublin House

Dublin House, situated at the crossroads in Omeath, County Louth, has long been a notable landmark in this quaint village on the Cooley Peninsula. Historically, it served as a popular public house and lounge bar, contributing to the social fabric of the community. In August 2009, a significant fire severely damaged the establishment. The blaze was substantial, necessitating the deployment of six fire units from Carlingford, Dundalk, and Drogheda. The extension on the Newry side of the building was completely destroyed. Following the fire, Dublin House remained boarded up for several years, its once vibrant presence reduced to a derelict structure. Photographs from 2012 and 2015 depict the building in its neglected state. In the years that followed, efforts were made to refurbish the main building. By 2015, reports indicated that the primary structure had undergone significant restoration, though the extension destroyed in the fire was not rebuilt.
