Finally! Say goodbye to the Corrib Great Southern

Looks like what was left on teh 1st of February was the staircase unit. Is it still up. & the front part of the lobby.

yesterday, so the back section is leveled but has all the rubble still there and teh bit closer to teh Dublin road still has its shell up but being worked on.

Struck me yesterday that if there was asbestos there don't they normally have tents and things up, like a containing dome trying to make sure there is no dust spread. Not sure why that doidn't strike me earlier, All of the deconstruction has been in open air thaht I've seen. & there are residences immediately outsides the hotel grounds .

Probably bound to be.

I would love to see a bus/coach hub for things going out of town. Trying to think of shops in the immediate area and I guess there are a few within about a 10 minute walk. Would like an independent convenience shop too though.

& some way of tidying up the road system around there. Not sure if anything new has been done there since the residential areas to the East of the city were expanded. So it is stil set up for a lower amount of traffic . Would have been very good if the garda station was built about 10 feet back from where it is so the road had some hope of widening. I think there is one specific corner of the building that would make that difficult, that should have been built with things like that in mind. I thought most large towns had some form of stopping point for its outskirts and taht all hinges on one bus stop and layby that I don't think are up to the task.

But I'm sure town does need another expensive set of flats. Orr is it just about to get a load of those a little further down where it's currently green

The poster you responded to is a WUM. Take no notice.

Used to have the College balls there 30 years ago.

Very fond memories

Ya know there was a massive economic crash in 2008?

It would be great if the Comers now made a move on that other eyesore they own out in Portumna.

There was a rumour Al Hayes was going to buy it before the Comers stepped in but I'm not sure how much truth was in it.

Its a pity what happened because it wa a nice hotel and the town is a draw for tourists when its right beside the Shannon but there is nowhere for them to stay.

They buy property and just leave it sitting there for years.

The council talk of fining them if they haven't made a move to develop the building they buy but to a billionaire a council fine would be like throwing a grain of salt in the ocean.
