Derelict Dublin

Highlighting Dublin's worst cases of dereliction.

[Derelict Dublin @derelict_dubs]

@RobCross247 An even greater shame is the graving docks, also left to rot for years by @waterways_Irl https://t.co/30mJhZDqOg

[Derelict Dublin @derelict_dubs]

Graving docks, Grand Canal
- Abandoned for 30+ years
- 1.2 hectare site. Last significant site in the Docklands Strategic Development Zone
-@waterwaysirelan launched a competition to develop the site in 2019 which no one won
- In Feb 2021 they said were “considering a range of options” including selling the site. In March 2023 they were still “continuing to examine options”
- Another semi-state with a complete lack of urgency to make use of a significant site

More years go by, it is a disgrace that @waterways_Irl are allowed to sit on their hands with this site https://t.co/OurRT0yzQe

This site may now finally be developed after the council refused to demolish for years. Good news for the area

Waterways Ireland have been deciding what to do with this site since 2019 and still do not expect to complete a *review* until the *end* of 2025. No rush as per

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

Dublin’s historic graving docks could become a community facility, with a floating lido, saunas, food trucks and a “pocket forest”, under plans developed by docklands residents https://t.co/K8mRmJZHmR

[Derelict Dublin @derelict_dubs]

@waterwaysirelan The ship has been removed but there are still no plans for the site.

[Derelict Dublin @derelict_dubs]

Another year goes by with no progress. Between this site and the Grand Canal fences @waterwaysirelan do not seem capable
