What is happening with Jurys/Ard Rí Hotel

deadybai

Its being lying idle for years now and is a huge eye sore. I always wondered how it got planning permission in the first place. Sure its beyond repair at this stage. Why can't they demolish it? It really is horrible.

How long is it closed .I lived in Waterford City for several years up to around March 2008 .I think it was still open then ,or not ?

I wouldnt like to see the Ard ri go to be honest,this could have been a landmark building had it not been left go to rack and ruin! It still has amazing views for a hotel which hopefully it can be restored to in time.Deff agree with above posts the North Quays are in a awful condition with parts on the mill starting to fall down now!.Until the Ard ri is sold or whatever happens I think it should have art work painted on it or something rather than just the current white colouring!

Flemings Castle was on the site before being demolished to make way for the hotel i believe...dont know any of its history though.

Wasn't there a castle on that site before? Does anyone know the name of it and any history about it?

For a quick demolition ,get in the old I.R.A .THEY DONE A GREAT JOB WITH NELSONS PILLAR .(though i did not agree with that ,as they could just have took off Nelson himself at the very top .) .

This was uploaded in Jan 2011. Would nearly make you cry. Such a shame to let it go like this. Used to go up there often enough to the hotel and the gym. Looks like something from Chernobyl.

Some venue for a disaster/zombie film!

Is it all still there with just the hoarding on the front? You would think the cost of putting a car around it was more than demolishing it? Maybe not when the rubble had to be removed.

I think it says beautiful location for a hotel.

Nothing is the answer,IMO it has a minus value because the cost of taking down the building outweighs the value of the land, and it is a useless deign for a modern hotel .

Trick of the Tail

Should have been razed to the ground years ago. Its a blot on the landscape, an eyesore overlooking the city.

The City Council have the power to demolish is and invoice the owners, but they don't have the guts to do it.

So best to just leave it rot there and make the city look terrible.

It reminds me of that monstrocity in Central Dublin ,Liberty Hall . Both need to be demolished .
