April 30 2002: Infamous high-rise towers to bite the dust in summer
The Irish IndependentPlans for the demolition of high-rise Ballymun towers have been completed. The four, eight and 15-storey concrete structures erected in the mid-1960s will be reduced to rubble, starting this summer. The first of the seven infamous towers to be levelled will be the Thomas McDonagh complex, which is to be dismantled layer by layer. Following that, Pearse tower, is to be blown up early next year by UK experts, Controlled Demolition Group Ltd.
Indeed, I originally heard one of the towers was to be imploded (I also thought that it was Pearse Tower)
have to get along to that. Spent the first 6 years of my life in Pearse Tower (wasn’t allowed out :D) I was almost born in the lift as it happens. My ma was in labour and was getting the lift down to the car to get us to hostpital and the lift droke down. When they finally fixed it and got it down there was a couple of hundred people, an ambulance and fire engine outside as word had spread that some woman had given birth in the lift.
Alas, I let everyone down by staying in until we got to the Coombe.
While Shamrock Rovers stadium is still only half finished. In fact it’s been half-built for about 3 years now. Ironicaly it’s sponsored by Woodies, the building providers.
wonder if they will offer a “where the tram is now” webpage ala aircoach
