Hmm DCC Architects suggesting the day before this post that the buildings would be demolished down to first floor level…and the presumably closed up and left to rot.

I heard a few years ago (not sure how reliably) that this stretch of Benburb Street was entangled to a great degree with the Criminal Assets Bureau and that ownership of much of the street could not be fully determined, I am not sure if these buildings fall into a wider site or have stand alone owners who just haven’t been able/bothered to maintain the buildings. Regardless, Benburb Street isn’t exactly a shiny beacon for urban regeneration stimulated by largescale infrastructural investment is it.
