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.
ro_GParticipantIndeed, I originally heard one of the towers was to be imploded (I also thought that it was Pearse Tower)
ro_GParticipanthave 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.
ro_GParticipantWhile 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.
ro_GParticipantro_GParticipantwhats the idea behind the cave-like entrances. They really upset the form for me.

ro_GParticipantthis, on the other hand, should be a permanent exhibition:

ro_GParticipantapologies in advance 😉
ro_GParticipanton traffic and congestion charges and Foster – some light relief from the lads at http://www.b3ta.com
ro_GParticipanthow far advanced are their plans? – i find it unthinkable they could be doing this
ro_GParticipantthis is most upsetting
ro_GParticipantmight try and purchase one of them for brochure and website. Merchant House on Merchant Wuay is the place
