Re: Re: Malahide Road tollhouse demolished

On the one hand, its sad to see this go. I know some local residents and An Taisce were active in trying to preserve it. And you are quite right in pointing out that it dates from 18th century.
It is in quite a state of decay though and apart from its age and longevity is not particularly remarkable. Its hard to see what practical use it could have if it were repaired as it is tiny. Sometimes the process of renewal and rebuild just needs to take place.
