    I saw workmen at the Yacht the other day - at least they're working on the place. Dollymount house has been shut since 2006, I think, and nothing seems to have been done to the site.

    Developer lost his shirt on that deal. Remember seeing the developer inspecting the site not long after it shut down and he looked like the cat that got the cream. I remember thinking at time, i hope the inevitable property bubble crash doesnt ruin it for ya mate.

    I was enquiring a while ago about having a party in the function room and was told it will be closing for refurbishment so wouldnt be available so Id say it will open backup. Did a very nice dinner in there :) .They own the autobahn in glasnevin too though so equally as good dinner in there
