Lyons village, located at {{coord| 53.29947|-6.55699|type:city_region:IE|format=dms|display=inline}}, was restored 1999–2007 from a deserted and depopulated state by the aviation pioneer [[Tony Ryan]] (1936–2007), and contains his mausoleum. The village consists of apartments based in the former canal-side industrial heritage buildings dating to the 1820s, a small chapel, and Café la Serre. Between 2006 and 2008, another restaurant, The Mill, was run at the site by Irish celebrity chef [[Richard Corrigan]]. Other ''artisans dwellings'' were to be restored in the third phase of the scheme, 2007–2011.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}{{update inline|date=January 2020}} The development is beside the 13th lock on the Grand Canal and approached from a separate entrance to the entrance of [[Lyons Demesne|Lyons House]] beside Kearneystown Bridge on the road from [[Newcastle, County Dublin|Newcastle]] to [[Ardclough]]. |
