Phoenix Park demolitions condemned

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / May 08 2001: Phoenix Park demolitions condemned

The demolition of a landmark gate lodge, kiosk and turnstile of the former Phoenix Park racecourse in Dublin has been condemned by a local Labour Party councillor, Ms Joan Burton. She said these unlisted Edwardian structures opposite the Phoenix Park's Ashtown gate had been demolished despite an appeal from Dúchas, the Heritage Service, to have them preserved in any redevelopment of the racecourse.
