    Rhattigan has taken over all the NUIG building contracts - perhaps they are relocating their equipment? Or perhaps they are starting up again, now that they'll have gotten an extra cash injection..

    I'd say they're just taking their equipment back. Rhattigans are contractors not developers so they don't finance their own jobs.

    Rhatigan had 3 white tower cranes in Crown when the site shut down in late 2008, one went to the Bon Secours and another elsewhere. One has been there for 3 years doing nothing. They may require all 3 at the University.

    Rhatigan were the developers on the part built site where eircoms Headquarters are near Heuston Station as well as the contractors on some or all of it.

    Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but there's some new activity at this site in the last week. The ramp into the site has been rebuilt and there are workers putting up some new steel fencing today. Anyone know what's going on there?

    Local councillor has been complaining that the existing fencing has been falling down. Was in one of the local papers a few weeks ago.

    As stated they are re-building the fence around the site after it was damaged in the storm, no other work going on.

    You can see the site fairly clearly from the road on the Eircom side, some hole in the ground.

    Since its going to be empty for a while, why dont we set up free car parking and organise bus rides to town, it would make it a lot easier for people with
    cars to get to it as compared going to Ballybrit and less of a journey to town ( its a pity there is no bus lane from there )

    You could fit a lot of cars in there all right but you would need a crane to get them back out again.

    This is an old thread and since there is no new info on Crown I'm closing it.
    If building starts again please PM a mod to reopen or start a fresh thread.

    Edit - reopened for further news

    The IDA estate would want to keep a closer eye on its parking if those go ahead.

    It's getting there. First two buildings are complete, opposite the houses on Monivea Rd, awaiting fit out. Next block, on Joyce Rd (think that's the name) is complete in terms of height externally and has had windows installed. One behind it is at maybe second floor height I'd say.
