All

a couple of weeks back it was reported in the Age that the old Apollo Hall has been sold and will more than likely make way for redevelopment.

Go the old thread for the background on this story.

Note the following link regarding the existence of the underground cellar:

And here's an image of what it now looks like (althoug this is probably a few years old as the music store is no longer there:

the former Apollo Hall is in the process of being demolished. The back wall is all that is remaining and will probably be taken down todeay or tomorrow I suspect.

(The back wall is the vicinity of the wine saloon as per the Gun Alley Murder.

Bill et al

I've looked for the said planning permit that some of the media suggest was gratned and I can't seem to find it. I suspect I'm looking at the wrong council (Irish equivilent) but I would like to see the plans of what is proposed.

Can anyone advise what local council authority Ballysheehan falls under?

regards

Marcus
