This is North Wall station, which has been closed for many years. In its hay day, it was the last building thousands of Irish people set foot in before shipping off to England in search of work, in many cases never to return. Now Ireland needs 50000 foreign workers each year, and the station building is to become part of Spencer Dock, which will become a major commuter hub and interchange station between DART trains and Luas trans.

How times have changed.
