Just got a request from droghedaairsoft asking to make an announcement about a new airsoft site they're opening up.

It's called Old Mill Airsoft and will be based in the Old Mill Hotel Julianstown.

It will be open tomorrow from 10am and is priced at 15 euro for a half day and 25 for a full day.

Gun rentals are 20 euro
BBs are 10 euro.

Good luck with the site lads!

not as open as u think we dont use that house part as a office we dont play near the road and them house's are further then u think man

gerrowadat

Any pics of the site cleaned up?

From the pics there it looks like its not particularly safe, what did your safety assessor for your insurance say? Is the building condemned?

Best of luck with the new site guys:)

I do have one concern and that is that if you are driving north on the N1 through the town of Julianstown as you come down the hill you can see most of the site including the carpark that is to the far left of the photos posted above, I hope you have notified the Gardaí or you'll be getting alot of visits from them as people drive by and see guys with guns and then report it.:(:(

You didn't answer my question. Was there a risk assessment done on the site, and is the structure condemned?

as far as i know after talking to someone earlier i heard it was a listed building i maybe wrong though but will still pop up

Sod'o swords

I've visited the pub before it was burnt down, and eh, yeah.. Good luck with that..

Says it's a listed building. It also is selling the site as a devlopment site, which means the building is beyond use.

You'd be mad to play in or near that structure to be honest, but there seems to be a few acres of scrubland/woodland beside it?

So is it a woodland site?

cormac128

thinking of useing my firstweek of my mid term to see all the dublin sites might need more than a weekend

Masada

Best of luck with the site.

Airsoft Reloded

Best of luck John, I'll have to get up for a wee game.

Rhinocharge

Best of luck with it. :):)

moggser

if the site is cleaned up and you have a safety statement to show all here why dont you instead of trying to heard as many cattle in the door

the way them pic's are it looks like if a snadgie farted one of them walls might tumble down


i have to say it dont look one bit safe let alone the fact as was pointed out that ya might get fronted with members of the Eru who have the real slingbackers

Airsoft Reloded

How did it go today John, good times?

gerrowadat

How was the first day? Any pics or vids?

doesnt look to cleaned up??

Leftyflip

In all fairness, it looks far too unsafe to be skirmishing in. Far too many safety hazards from what I saw. How did you manage insurance for that?

k99_64

U can hit the cars going by!

Silent Death

All true, but its gritty and wrecked, like an abandoned house should be, looks good fun to have a go in

gungun

if some auld wan was going by in the car they couldnt easily see this,
i think my granny would be slightly alarmed by the site of it

Airsoft Reloded

Thats a directed vid Johnny, looks fun.

gerrowadat

Eh, what the hell?

The players there are plainly visible from the road, you can see the windows of the cars going by.

They're playing inside what is both a listed and condemned building.

This is seriously dodgy, and the visibility from the road means that everyone in that vid at the start can be done for a firearms offence.

AlternateID

I know this place. Drove past it recently. You can see in clearly from the road driving north as you enter the village. Anyone that goes there would be lucky not to be arrested.

fayer

This is braking section 40.9 (A) of the CJA 2009 as RIF are visible to the public, and I also suspect (B) give this fact.

S40.9(A) also relates to the individual player, so you will face charges under a firearms offence not the site on that count.

We will be hearing about this, and not in a good way, from the papers and Mr. Duffy I suspect. The sad part is people taking blatant short cuts like this tarnishes all site operators and makes their life more difficult.

not really as it could easy be used against airsoft as a whole to demonstrate irresponsible gaming, on view rifs to public, bb can hit the public, and what appears to maybe be IRA graffiti at the end in the same paint as 'respawn' so assume it was added by management

sorry but the most dangerous irresponsible site i have seen in ireland to this point

sorry its anything but a cracking video

Silent Death

Wow, airoft intervention.....

Granted, but still a cool video.

Close this disgrace before you wreck all the hard work that has been done to put our sport on a socially acceptable footing.

no, no its not, the more you say its cool and cracking and great, i'm sorry the more you just validating its creation and content, which by common consent is damaging to airsoft
