While Mr Myles said his team were expecting to find an original quay wall and timber structures dating from the 1670s, nothing of that nature was uncovered. He suggested that when Apollo House was being built in the late 1960s, most of the structures of archaeological importance “were basically demolished”.
“There was probably a building used as a chapel from the foundation of St Andrew’s parish in 1709 and it is depicted on John Rocque’s map [of Dublin] of 1756,” the archaeological report prepared for the developers says. By 1811, the parish had grown and “it was decided that the chapel would have to be reconstructed”, the report says.
Oh ffs 🤦♂️
