    It looked really bad.
    It's unfortunate as it's only been recently done up, and was really nice too. :(

    Some good photos for anyone who hasn't seen it yet;here

    It's a real unfortunate coincidence when you consider the guy who owns the place also owned the bridgeford!

    Yes. Same guy.

    Of course it's suspicious, when you think that that it started at half 2 on a Tuesday morning, no one after been in the place for a few hours? It would be naive not to consider something malicious.

    Jobs will be created in the rebuilding, and reopening, so there is a light in the tunnel

    Unfortunately its probably more likely that it will remain boarded up and derelict for years to come.

    Went over for a look when I was home on saturday. God it's just a shell now really.

    Shame about folks jobs, it won't be opening again any time this decade I'd say/

    West St was looking as awful as ever and now worse since this :mad:

    I made a game of trying to recall what shop used to be in all of the closed ones on my way over, was it jalapeno's that used to next door to the weavers where O'Dowd's office is now?

    My OH was talking to somebody who manages one of the shops on West St over the weekend, the word on the street is that a couple of the bigger empty shops have been let so there could be new businesses moving into West St.

    Apart from last week when West St was closed to traffic business is brisk enough and ticking over - and is up on the previous two years (wouldn't be hard though).

    I was passing the window of the new one just at the junction of laurence st, there was a drum kit in the window so I thought, oh great a new music shop, then I looked up and saw it was cash traders:mad:

    I just walked passed the Weavers, the top story of the building is completely gone now including the front wall. It looks like they are putting in supports to hold up the buildings either side.

    Sad to see it gone , had done a nice job inside.

    In relation to jobs they went through more staff in the 8 months they were open than I had hot
    Dinners.

    No different owner , owner has another pub in dundalk .

    As a bar it had never taken off since it re-opened .
