    All nice images Keith, I particularly like 1 & 4. I'd crop a little bit of the gate off the bottom of #1

    It is in Blanchardstown off the old Navan Road and opposite where Crest Foods used be (now redeveloped as flats).

    I thought so, I was always convinced they were apartments, or have they just been bought out recently? I grew up 5 mns from there, it's amazing how they now call it Castleknock when back then it was Blanchardstown. I know I sound like a snob and completely off topic but it really is profiteering by changing the address.

    Great pics though and I will go down there!
