Not sure if that's good or bad. I used to work it on Friday/Saturday nights but I haven't bothered with it for the last year or two. You do get decent runs from it as you're more often than not straight onto the motorway network with the meter running at maximum speed but it does attract more than it's fair share of riff-raff, particularly since the Blacker closed. The question is, where will said riff-raff go... Swords or up above to Dublin, there's not much in between.

There's been enough work about to ignore the Venue/Blacker riff-raff for the last couple of years, at least. The problem is the more they're dispersed the harder it is to avoid them... reopen the Blacker, I say!

Sad to see all the old Discos/Nite Clubs closing, with the late bar openings now the Kids don't bother anymore.
Fcuk I miss the Slow Set from Checkers up in Taylors from 40 years ago

New fire safety laws are closing clubs .and soon some pubs .Venues must now have fire exits that lead on to public highways some venues had fire exits that led to the back yard or into closed off laneways shared with other venues .Venues like Sin,District 8,Andrews Lane ,Lillies all failed to meet the fire safety requirements and are to be closed and redeveloped
