Archer's Garage - or at least a good copy - will be visible again by the end of this month, according to Dublin Corporation. But conservations fear buildings are still at risk in the city - particularly over bank holiday weekends. The good news is that while there are yet a number of outstanding issues in relation to planning permissions, the reinstatement of the distinctive 1940s garage has been monitored on an on-going basis by Dublin Corporation and is now close to completion.Archer's Garage was demolished over a bank holiday weekend in June 1999 when the demolition crew were able to close off a nearby road to facilitate the work unhindered by either the corporation or the Garda. At the time the corporation even took the unusual step of issuing a statement expressing regret that the demolition had occurred, on behalf of the site's owner.
