It's an unusual enough looking building allright. It's called The School of Spite.
The field in which it sits was for sale earlier this year/last year. Not a normal EA job, just a big sign saying it was for sale accompanied by two mobile phone numbers. Fingal CoCo have confirmed that the school is the subject of a Preservation Order, so hopefully it will be there for many years to come.
Here's a link to its history
[broken link removed]
There is an old delapidated house on the Porterstown road near the railway track that looks like a haunted house or that of Norman Bate's mother.
The 12th lock is a bar restaurent and a hotel. The local residents objected vigourously to it but in the end it was overuled. From what I've heard, Ddring the course of the development the developer tried to exceed the planning permission a few time and the local residents objected each time, and eventually (and unsually for D.15) the developer was forced to undo the extra work and comply with the planning permission. I don't think the residents are happy with the traffic it brings down zipping that road. I lke the 12th lock myself but then again I don't live near it. But yet again it just proves with enough effort you can build almost anything in D.15.
By light night venue I assumed you meant a niteclub. If its on similar scale to 12th lock I assume you'd get planning permission alright. Though its on a small road, where any increase in traffic would be a problem I'd have thought. IMO while its nice to have some amenities built, I think they whole area is over developed and the section of the clonsilla rd is car park quite often.
Thats the old school. My dad went to there. I live at the top of the Porterstown where u come to the Junction (Ireland Coloured Gates).
If you want any background info on the building or locality, drop me a PM & will be able to get all the information off the locals. My cousin's live across the road from there as well on both sides of the railway.
