There are no visible signs of life at the parkway valley site, not a single 1 of the 10 or so cranes on the site is currently in operation. Despite repeated guarantees from the developers that the project is going ahead, no significant construction has taken place over the past 2 months!

The Punches Cross development was suppposed to go to construction back in February, however the site has yet to be cleared and theres nothing to suggest that anything is going to happen for the foreseeable future!

The re-development of the GPO/ Hanging Gardens is continuing, much of the work is currently focused on the new office block backing on to Post Office Lane. The lift shafts are now in place and the buildings skeleton is beginning to take shape. The project is due to be finished in early 2010.

To be a little more accurate..of the 8 tower cranes on the Parkway valley site , only 1 of them has been operational in recent days.. working on a liftshaft close to the Dublin Rd. I was talking to the services engineers last week and they said there is no news as to when ‘proper’ work will recommence there – but as far as they knew it was still going to proceed. There has been so much investment already in the site it would be a tradgedy if it was abandoned now. But in the current climate nothing is certain..
