I was in St Bricin’s Military Hospital, Arbour Hill last Friday. There is a tunnel which runs from there, via Arbour Hill Prison (formerly the military prison) to the former Collins Barracks, all downhill to move prisoners around. It is closed up for security but essentially still there.

I pass through it most saturday mornings and the condition of the area really does need to be brought to a wider audience.
they’d have to do down fairly deep under the liffey — and why would they link the rotunda to the castle
The last model I saw had the Nally Stand in the same design as the rest and an open Hill 16 presumably with seats….
Dunnes Stores is to sell off its newly completed office headquarters at Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
Selling agents Druker Fanning and Partners are expecting offers in excess of Euro31.74 million for the 10-storey block on the Navan dual carriageway. The striking glass building was designed by Andrej Wejchert who was also responsible for the nearby Blanchardstown town centre.
Dunnes’ present headquarters are in Dublin city centre. The company now plans to build a new city centre headquarters along South Great Georges Street at a cost of Euro40 million.
