Good to see it

The preliminary stuff is scheduled for today - fencing/site clearance, etc.
Its scheduled to take (approx) 10 weeks, but with builders ya never know....
That said, Geth Noble (Mr Airspeed) is overseeing things so it should be bangin!

Keep a crafty eye on the site (far end of the tennis courts) cos I'd expect to see some of the disgruntled local residents lying down in front of JCBs
- they don't want this type of thing in " their park ".

Good things come to those who wait...etc.

Something similar happened at a concrete park in Wales last year. The local residents ended up smashing up the construction machinery and ruined damp concrete in an effort to waste some of the budget - the guilty parties were convicted of criminal damages IIRC...

10 weeks eh? deadly! so whens the actual building beginning?

Was in the park today, work has started but they havent really got much done, just put up the fences and startedt clearing. They still havent finished putting all the fences up but there was a mixer running for concrete which means they must be close to putting some down.

Woo!! About time too.
About a minute walk from my school, so I can see myself spending an awful long time there next year.

In the local free paper the Rathfarnam Times it has been reported that they have found remains that are believed to be from a early Viking settlement. All work has ceased until the area can be provisionally excavated to determine if the find is of value. It says this may take anything from 6 to 12 weeks depending on how much material they have to work through.

You better be ripping the **** Ive never even heard of the Rathfarnham Times.

FX Meister

Really? You can pick it up in a lot of the shops around the area. I'll try and the article and scan it tonight.

Me neither.

Very funny FX.

skate4evr

i was just up there today and i didnt see any stuff from vikings, there'd be ALOT of media attention from it if there was stuff there! and so somehow i doubt that there really is

nellieswellies

I would not be surprised, there has been a fair amount of archiological finds around the rathfarnham area over the years
