    Just been reading into the planning corruption scandal about Clondalkin-Lucan town centre and Liffey Valley/Quarryvale in the 90's. Just wondering where the original town centre was supposed to be before palms were greased and Quarryvale was rezoned? various reports say Clonburris or Balgaddy which are a bit vague.

    Cheers.

    The land around the "ghost" train station at Kishoge.

    The huge site on the ring road (right as you're driving to Clondalkin) would of had the rail links with the vacant train station and the reason for the bus corridor on a road with no bus service

    51D I get to work uses the bus corridor on the ring road, albeit just 2 services a day. Agree that it would have been a far better location than where liffey valley ended up. Councillors shafted the communities of Clondalkin and Lucan with the re-zoning.
