I heard that there was a major problem with one of the new apartment blocks being built behind the new Hilton at Sarsfield bridge.
Site was evacuated and HSA on site.

The most up-to-date source of all inside information, the trusty taximan, told me on Friday night that a floor of the hotel had collapsed and caused a million euro of damage. It's unlikely to open before Christmas now.

If true it is hardly surprising, did you see how fast it went up.

Yeah, it turns out it was the apartments adjacent to The Hilton and I heard earlier on in the year that the builders were cutting alot of corners.

I heard the opposite, that everything was being done pretty high spec.

Has anyone seen any images for the new building opposite the Red Church on Henry street? It's a pretty huge site, I understand it's where the decentralised civil servants are being sent.

Well, Well, Well.

Not a bit surprised...

Have heard of similar corner cutting in some of the more established hotels in the city.
