NO HOPE OF DOCK ROAD LANE RE-OPENING
Date Published: 15-Jun-2011
Dock Road in the city, will not re-open in the near future according to a spokesperson for the group behind a new arthouse cinema near the Spanish Arch.
One lane of the road has been closed off for more than a year to facilitate the building of a new 4 million euro arthouse cinema on the corner of Merchant’s Road.
Cordil Construction, which had been awarded the contract for the work, pulled out of the project due to financial concerns.
Cordil has since been placed in receivership.
Solas Galway, the group backing the arthouse project, has now put out a new tender for the work.
The deadline for expressions of interest in building the cinema is July 1st and it’s hoped work will begin again in September.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
