    Cork Street?

    Moving further and further out from the convenience of the city centre.

    Cork Street? Colt & sabre country! It would be much too sensible to locate it in the NAI building or Dublin Castle.

    There's no room in the NAI as it is.

    Remember the halcyon days of the Irish Life venue on Abbey St?

    Not sure they were 'halcion days' but I do remember getting the train (not DART!) into Connolly and walking across to ener through the Mall. I also recall when the GO was in Dublin Castle.😀
