A mixture of both. Whoever owns it, should of had a security company look after it, SDCC should look at issuing a big fine to the owners

Yep falling apart, becoming a right dump. Wouldn't like to be living close to it.

cant the council not force the owners to do something?

Some activity there in the last few days. Skips being filled. A bit of a tidy up going on.

They've blocked off the entrance and exit also and repaired the wall at the entrance which had a chunk taken out of it last week. Poor old Frank Keane will have nowhere to park his van/mobile ad!

Sad sight yesterday as I was pulling out of garage, there was a homeless guy asleep underneath a pile of cardboard in front of the old entrance to the bar.

Going slightly off topic. I see the Deadman's Inn is open again. I was just wondering has anybody been in it, or a they doing food etc?

No publicity for that AFAIS.

Nothing on Google either since 2014. Strange.

still if it is open again, I wish it well.

Manager from the salmon leap has gone to run it. They just opened Friday, definitely doing food, hopefully it'll survive!

Its quiet a bad location for a pub, but best of luck to it.

Meanwhile the foxhunter is getting worse looking by the day, is it the squaters tents that I seen blowing around out the front of it the other day? Does anyone have any info on whats happening with it at all?

I didn't even realise it had closed! :eek:

Wasn't there a lot of trouble in it because of the halting site across the way? Speaking of which, is that halting site now closed?

I only knew because I run by it on the way to work.

Think one of the halting sites is still there, but could be wrong.

Is there any update on the development of this site, does anyone know? Interested in buying a house in this part of Lucan but curious as to what might happen on this site in the future.

nobody knows. its a major clusterduck that no-one saw coming. it could be anything . i guess the dream that was avoca is not going to happen now. wouldnt it be great if wetherspoons took it? or else it could be a load of apartments.

the easiest thing planning wise is a pub or a shop, id imagine apartments would be a much harder ask. no-one has a crystal ball unfortunately.

Did they not get planning permission for apartments there before?

Wait, are back to April 1'st?

Anyhoo, the local Gazette are reporting that the site was re-sold and the Council have no clue who bought it??

maverick_21

anyone heard anything on this over the last couple of months?

Dublinvillian

I noticed last week there is a security guard sitting down there in a car full time , must be something going onn

Lead was being stripped from the roof by low life's and selling it on. Security there to protect from vandalism. The owners at least protecting their investment and preventing the building from going in to complete disrepair...

maverick_21

Are the owners still a secret? Its mad to think that site has been left empty for this long...
