Has Dunne Stores then demolished that fine red brick Victorian building here
It’s not the Dunnes supermarket that’s been demolished but a whole row of derlict buildings the other side of the road, to make way for a new headquarters. They decided not to use the tallish building in Blanchardstown for some reason.
The supermarket is a protected structure. It’s part of the South City Markets, isn’t it?
-
Yes, the supermarket forms part of the Markets. The demolition is on the other side of the road. You might recall the corner buildings at Little Ship St had gone. There are two retains facades then the Long Hall and then a gap. It funny, I can’t recall the buildings there (already) but I think they were redbrick and granite 1930s stock.

It was the old Cassidy’s store that has been knocked not Dunnes supermarket. Nobody could even try to get away with knocking part of the South City Markets

One of the buildings knocked had an original 18th century pressed tin set of ceilings to the first floor I’m informed, very unusual and the earliest and just about ony one recorded in Ireland.
They were far earlier than 1930’s.
Does anybody actually like the new scheme – can’t say I’m very impressed – derivative, jejeune declasse and all that!!
