Unbelievable that this site has remained vacant for 30 years.

Common across all of Ireland, cork has derelict sites down by its docks for decades too.Dublin O'Connell street old cinema site which had been demolished and empty for as long as can remember.all of these sites have issues which stalled anything happening, ownership issues, semi states pulling out of what they promised economics, etc.

Ah no. It is par for the course for sites with contaminated ground, and as has been said, other issues. It is nothing particular to the region. Would you buy land to build a house on that engineers have told you that the ground is contaminated or has legal issues associated with it?

Looks very close to opening. All the markings done, signs and pay machines installed. Same price as Millers Marsh. €1 per hour. Minimum 50c (half hour) and €3.60 for the day.

€3.60 a day is unbelievable value. Surely this place will be full every day! I wonder what people will complain about now instead of parking?

I'd complain about how there are three large carparks almost side by side Millers Marsh, Gasworks, Bolton Street.
I know the Gasworks site is a particular challenge due to the horrors of town gas pollution but something more imaginative should have been possible.

Site was for sale for years with no takers.

Wasn't thinking of private enterprise - something owned by and for the city was what I had in mind. Vaguely.

I noticed posters up for Daytripper, which is being held in there this year. Probably hold a fair bit more than Bolton Street?

They could nearly have an adjacent three stage festival - Bolton Street, Gasworks, Millers Marsh! Obviously the latter would be for a tall thin group.

Any idea when car park open.

kaef

Jesus lads, if they would build something on that site you would complain about lack of parking spaces...

It's free outside the hours on the sign.

wmpdd3

Free after 18:30 on Friday is great, everywhere else is charged until 21:00. I have to say I thought paid parking started at 9:00am, that will tell you how long it is since I left my car in town!

How can you get here from the bridge if you avoid the quay? Can you drive down the Apple market? Or do you have to come down Bunkers hill and drive in the Mall? I've looked at the map, but I'm still not sure.

Go up bridge street across the glen onto ballybricken over to mayors walk down newgate street across to castle street left on the manor right down johns street and left and the car park is on your right

Ah, Castle street is still two way, brilliant.

Ye get an extra 30 mins free if you speak Irish

JohnC.

I pass it most days, but only noticed a couple of days ago that they may have done a whoopsie. Anyone else spot what's wrong here?

Try swinging that flood gate closed with that railing there

Max Powers

I hope that gate slides, maybe they realise it and just said, in flood, we'll have to bring spanner for barrier.

slide id imagine, hard to tell from picture
