There’s a whole swathe of empty retail units around the city that have been unoccupied for years.

Re Wax Museum – where so would you put it?

The allocation of an over-sized step-down methadone clinic that was going to permit last year to HSE, and albeit located on Queen Street, really smacked (no pun intended) of the developers/ owners desperate for rent – and signs on as to poor Paddy Kelly going to the wall… I wonder if the wax museum suggestion was also a sign of desperation?
