Re: Re: Smithfield, Dublin

Some limited works to Smithfield taking place then. I suppose it is August and even in these straightened times the builders have their traditional holidays.

I see there is also an application for works to the former Chief O’Neills. The plan appears to provide for the reopening of the hotel as “tourist accommodation” which is welcome. The application has been granted 2741/10

The terrace at the top of the square is a big challenge for both owners and the city. A revolving fund would be a very practical way of restoring these buildings to their former glory. DCC’s abysmal attitude to the site shouldn’t come as a surprise….these buildings have been decaying for years.
