    Are the Council ever going to do anything with it,? would they not turn it into a park for the local area. seams like a total waste of something that can be used for a better purpose for the community.

    If you mean the site opposite Aulden Grange, it's owned by a developer not the council. They requested planning permission for a billion apartments, some shops and a leisure centre years ago but nothing came of it.

    I think they were about to buy the old DPT site from whatever local authority owns it but IIRC it fell through when the travelers moved in.

    Dublin Port Tunnel - the site used as a storage area during construction of the tunnel. It's the west side of the site opposite Aulden Grange and at the top of the roundabout.
