It could even house a shop, for snacks, newspapers (if they ever arrive on the Island), and knick-knacks. Build a car park on top of it, and it might even pay something towards its upkeep. Too simple, it also need a restaurant, cinema, bowling alley, swimming pool and hotel. Why else has it taken so long to get the site developed? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it’s an ‘active site’ it’s only active as long as there is funding …………. and for how long the funding will last. Will suppliers and those providing services play ball - or is it a case of cash up front? Will the development actually get completed, and both tenanted, that’s another matter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they rescued sorry paid for the remaining steel that was kept in the wharehouse of a contractor owed a tidy sum ? The mouthpiece behind it Gareth ??? (Possibly his name but I am pleased to have forgotten) is an untrustworthy gobshite- I seriously doubt it will be finished by the current developer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
