Are you saying the retail park has been vandalised?

What gye mean is this it?

I mean it has been vandalised yes, the windows and doors have all been boarded up yet theyve still managed to pull one of the boards down and smash a window to get into the building. Theres weeds grass and moss growing over the building and car park, all the up lights have been smashed on the walkways, the building has wooden clad on it and they all seem to be just peeling back and theres been some lights knocked out up there too, how they got them i dont know cos theyve been physically removed, They have lit fires when they were having their cans or whatever, all fittings on the outside have been somehow broken unscrewed or vandalised, but theres lots of moss growing on the building. in such a short space of time it really has gone to the dogs!

Sounds bad alright, I rekon it will get a lot worse before anyone even attempts to open something there.

Good shots, although it doesnt look as bad as it does in real time!

There was a couple of fires lit around the palce too, Theres moss growing out of everything on it, did you see the light unit set into the wood on the side of the building just as you come in where the gate is? the unit is hanging out high up, theres a tree growing on the roof at one corner! natures mad, birds eat seeds and **** it on a roof and it germinates!

It was just built when the crunch happened, i think there was suppose to be an anchor tennant and the thought was that others would move in but i think a deal fell through and then the recession happened and it just stayed empty, then the local kids from Ballybeg used it for their drinking fires and destructive sides!

Musgraves are moving in soon. Im sure the owners are delighted cos if it was left any longer it wud have been pulled down in another 6 months the way things were going
