Irish Cultural Centre set to be Demolished and Rebuilt

After receiving half million pound grant from Irish government

Latest announcements reveal that The Irish Cultural Centre in Blacks Road, Hammersmith is set to be knocked down and rebuilt, after receiving a grant of over half a million pounds from the Irish government.

The centre's management have announced their plans for the following confirmation of a £550,000 grant from the Irish Government to help buy the premises.

Subject to planning permission, there are now plans to demolish the existing landmark building and construct a new centre with residential accommodation on the upper floors.

Over the last year, the centre has been campaigning to save its Blacks Road venue, which had been put up for sale by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
