    Wouldn't have been big into it, and certainly not the whole disused warehouse or abandoned tunnel stuf, but liked the odd ramble around old ruins.

    This is another one that was fascinating in its day, but sadly is being redeveloped so its all boarded up now.

    I never knew there was urban exploration in Ireland. I've wanted to try that for ages. How often do you guys do it?

    Interesting topic - I was hiking through Dalkey yesterday (needed a break from deepest darkest Glendalough and Glenmalure) and the passed a number of abondoned and boarded up properties. Some of these places where in great locations, looked fantastic (but obviously requiring a lot of work) and must be worth a fortune even in todays market.

    You'd wonder why squatters where not in there - different laws then in britain?

    I am having trouble with that link you posted. Is it a discussion forum?

    I would be fair interested in this. I've being informally urbexing in the southern parts of Ireland. Their is plenty of interesting sites in Cork for example.
