 Protect   Kilmainham Jail

NEWS UPDATE

CAMPAIGN RESULT = NO OFFICE BLOCKS

MAY 2005.

I wish to inform all those who visited this website and supported this campaign since August 2000 that the building site opposite Kilmainham Gaol is presently being developed as a mixed use development consisting of a hotel, apartments and live-work units.

This web site and associated campaign / appeals has resulted in a real mixed use development for the site in Kilmainham instead of the original plans for three large office blocks as proposed in 2000. I wish to thank all who visited Kilmainham via the web, over the duration of the campaign and thank you all for your support and comments.

JOHN CALLERY.
