    The name of the small island with the Magazine is Rocky Island , it held 25,000 barrels of gunpowder which was enough to supply the entire Brithish garison in ireland for one year .

          I read in the irish examiner a few weeks back that Rocky Island has been sold to developers who have already applied for planning permission to build a cremetorium, and it looks like it could get the go ahead as it will be the only one in the country outside of dublin!!

              Should be simple enough to knock the place, Mittal stripped any useful plant long ago.

              The sooner its gone the better. It'll make the walk from the Oil Wharf to the Basin so much easier...

                  Hey guys,

                  Possibly a mad rumour but i've heard the reason Irish Steel is coming down as quickly as it is been is because the people taking it down are set to gain an extra 250,000 euro per day that they finish before the set date on the initial contract. Seems a bit surreal i know but then again it is the Irish government thats paying them! And they do love spending money! (hopefully next year they will dig deep to replace Emer).........

                              There is numerous canvas bags of Radioactive material on Rocky Island.
                              Apparently the contents include scrap-iron from Chernobyl.
