Absolutely fabulous place, and I would love to be able to put an offer in. Worth it for the view of Christ Church Cathedral alone.
The Phoenix Park is being looked at as a possible alternative site for the controversial “Bertie Bowl” by a Government committee established to examine the multi-million euro project. The committee, which The Irish Times understands looked at a number of alternative national stadium sites to Abbotstown, is due to finalise its report today or tomorrow. Among the other sites the committee has assessed are Abbotstown, the former Glass Factory in Ringsend, and Lansdowne Road.

I heard that there was a stop built under O’Connell street for the underground that would inevitably be built, or so they thought. It was around the time they were building the underground in London, so they thought it would only be a matter of time before Dublin had an underground system. Is this true or is someone mixing the public toilets with an underground stop?Now if this were true, it would be fabulous to see but I imagine its a closed down toilet block. I think there’s a sealed off one down near the O’Connell Monument, you cann see the metal panels set into the paving.
There’s a reasonably susbstantial network of wide tunnels under front square in Trinners – – the dons use them to store the college wine collection I believe.
I passed the Carlton on Sunday, very strange looking indeed, stonework around entrance covered so it looks clean, false windows inserted. Strangely enough it looks better, excellent to know the that neon Carlton letters still work too.
The quote in the article makes it sound like something interesting architecturally. Its just a fairly standard 1940s building then?
Clancy Barracks has already been sold for high density redevelopment.
