I thought the ITG , RPSI etc. had to remove all their stuff a few years back as some of Inchicore was going to be sold off for land development?

Open day on the 7th of May open to the Public.

There was indeed talk about that, but the 2007/8 recession put paid to the redevelopment that had been considered. By this stage the ITG were making their own arrangements to move, hence some stuff stored at Moyasta now. The RPSI's heritage set is quietly decomposing there still, albeit following a sojourn in the old valeting plant at Heuston a few years ago.

Not bad going considering today was meant to be the 'public announcement'

Thank god! I’ve never been to the place so it’s a nice opertunity 

 

I wonder however how many will actually show up….something tells me if you turn up on the day without a ticket they’ll fit you in…..free tickets always have that disadvantage

Never been myself - I tried to go years ago to one, but missed the tour start time as I couldn't find the entrance to the Works in time!

I believe that, I was volunteering there about two years before I realised that there was a shortcut from Sarsfield Road by staying on the bus one stop longer...
