This was the derelict site of the demolished tax office in Cork, but back in February 2019. What difference 6 years? Nothing really except they’ve removed the rubble. It’s still an ugly eye sore. They really should have put a park there if they’re not going to do anything with it.

The old Tax Office as it was in 2017. It’s now demolished and there’s an ugly building site there. Should have put a park in there for people to enjoy.

The old tax office on Sullivan’s Quay, Cork is being demolished to make way for a shiny new hotel.

Remember Albert Quay? The remains of an old train station used to sit there but now it’s fancy glass fronted building. In 2014 I took photos of the building site and this photo of the site is from July 2015.

This is the building site…

Towering over the Elysian building site It’s amazing how much this building site has changed in the last few years. This was taken last May. Now if you took this picture much of the sky would be blocked out by the 3 or 4 storey building work on this side of the site.

The Elysian Building Site A look through the closed gate at the construction site of the new Elysian tower block in Cork. It’s a far cry from what the building site looked like in 2005!

Site of the new highrise block to be built in Cork. The empty wasteland presents a desolate and barren scene, devoid of any signs of activity.
