    It was possible that the figure was higher than 40,000. A lot of people around 12-1 when I was walking down by the tunnel yesterday.

    I am just curious how it says that it matches the construction of the dam in Ardnacrusha from the 1930's, when the Ardnacrusha dam was officially opened in 1929.:D

    Good old RTE. :D

    How much was the hat or booklet to buy?


    I passed twice yesterday and then the third time I was in the area I turned back to avoid the traffic, and each time it looked like the place was stuffed with crowds.

    Had no real interest in going in myself to be honest, but that was more to do with growing up in Liverpool where there are already river tunnels in place with one, the Birkenhead Tunnel, being over two miles long.

    What has caught my eye, or rather what has not caught my eye, is the lack of an obvious large ventilation shaft/building from the Limerick tunnel.

    Did anyone who was there see one? I know there has to be one where all the tunnel vents lead to, but I am used to the massive ones like the Mersey tunnels have, which look quite cool and, imho, almost become an attraction themselves.

    Was 5 euro for a hat with a booklet. They were giving out the booklets for free then on way out!
