BROADSTONE GATE NOT YET OPERATIONAL – NEW ENTRANCE TO TU CAMPUS AT GRANGEGORMAN
The was supposed to be operational by the end of last month but all building work has been suspended because of health emergency restrictions.
The Broadstone Gate will provide a key access to the Grangegorman site once complete and is being developed as part of the Luas Cross City works. It will be finished as a public plaza and the access will provide a major linkage between Grangegorman and Dublin city. The plaza is situated off Constitution Hill on the site of the Old Royal Canal at the former Great Western Railway Station commonly known as Broadstone, and will mark a prominent entrance to the Grangegorman urban quarter.
The Broadstone site, which borders Grangegorman on its east side, was subject to a Part VIII planning process in 2014 in order to facilitate the site development and gate access.
Under the Grangegorman Masterplan, the primary urban path through Grangegorman – St Brendan’s Way will link with the Broadstone Gate which when completed will reach as far as Prussia Street. The link with Broadstone can also be seen as an extension to the 18th century historic spine of Dublin City which covered Dublin Castle across Grattan Bridge, along Capel Street/Bolton Street, Henrietta Street and King’s Inn.
EGGING PASSING TRAMS AND PEDESTRIANS – NEW YEAR FUN WAS HAD BY SOMEONE
Years ago my sister paid for my new “interview suit” and the first time I wore it someone dropped a number of eggs on me and when I arrived for the interview I was in such a mess that they refused to proceed with the interview and they never contacted me again. The next day I brought the suit to my local cleaners and two days they had a fire and ceased trading and I no longer had an “interview suit”.
Egging is the act of throwing eggs at people or property. The eggs are usually raw, but can be hard-boiled or rotten.
Eggs can easily cause damage when thrown at property, and egging is considered vandalism. When thrown at cars, eggs can dent a body panel or scratch paint where the shell breaks. Egg whites can damage certain types of vehicle and house paint. Dried egg can be difficult to remove, and removal attempts with scrapers or abrasives can damage some surfaces.
Victims of egging may be entitled to financial compensation for the cost of repairs and cleaning to mend damaged property. Common charges related to egging are damage to property, vandalism, and nuisance.
