    Just heard the Graduate in Killiney is up in flames... Any one near by that can post some photos.

    Is it gutted?

    So when are the rumour cogs going to start up.

    ‘I heard from this lad, who know a guy that used to date one girls that worked there a few years back and he said that the fire was started by little green men in revenge for the Graduates Sky satellite interfering with their super computers ability to claim world domination’

    I wonder if they'll bother rebuilding it now, Its been a while since I've been there but I dont think it's been that busy and if its proved its the fault of another business the owner may get a hefty insurance cheque and call it a day.

    When the new owners bought it, I heard they paid 9 million for it.

    Great Photos.

    I'd say the traffic up that way will be at a standstill.

    Shame to see it go I have to say. My wife's parents live round the corner, and we'd pop in there from time to time..

    Here ya go. Was up there a little while ago. It's getting destroyed!

    The third one is a woman returning to her car to find the firemen had smashed her window to move it back from the building to allow the fire engine in. Oh dear

    LOL the poor womans car. bit idiotic though to park beside a fire no??
    Have to drive by it on the way home in a few minutes, i'd say traffic will be mental!

    It's a shame to see the gradge gutted, liked the place.

    lol it wasn't on fire when she first parked the car there!

    Yeah it's a pity about the Graduate but I'm sure they'll rebuild it. The new chinese will probably have taken a lot of smoke in through the open window beside it. Apparently the window opens automatically so theres nothing they can do to keep the smoke out of the kitchen. The Rochestown road onto the round about is closed, or was earlier. The new road is the main way to go but the traffic is very heavy so avoid it if you can.

    The shopping centre was already pumping money into it to modernise it- wonder if its a conspiracy? burn down the place and make a nicer one off the insurance?! haha
    not sure i can avoid the sallynoggin by-pass, will have to endure the traffic jams i think. it might give me a chance to grab a pic or two along the way :)

    Cheers Dr Dodger for the photos.

    We have to slide round to in laws on the way home, but as mentioned I'd say traffic will be a bit on the mental side!

    I'd hardly call that place a shopping centre! Though it looked nicer when they redesigned it.

    I always knew they made a mistake by getting rid of the college upstairs!
