Thanks !!

I thought that walkway was always there, but just opened to the public recently?

No, thats not the case, The Skyline walkway is a new project constructed in April / May of this year. There was no pre-existing walkway.

Has anybody paid to do this - is it worth it?

Yes, I have.
I enjoyed it anyway, you'd really want a clear day. The 360 view of Dublin is very good, I was suprised that the Croker Roof is such a good vantage point on the city, you can see everything. You get a good look around the Croker grounds etc too.

Also the ticket cost gets you into the GAA museum also which is good if you are into that

I'd like to do it, but isn't it more expensive than the Eiffel Tower / Empire State building?
