It was open this morning alright - was on a train that stopped there. However, why is Irish Rail allowed let the roof fall into such a dangerous state - and although it's probably the most impressive architectural feature on the country's rail network, it looks as if they're going to replace much of it with a smaller structure - recently saw a photomontage (either the Indo or Times) of the proposals in relation to the station and interconnector.
