No, it has a Glasnevin address --87.198.17.118 (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

It has neither, its address is simply Dublin City University, Dublin 9, which could be interpreted as it resident in any of the districts in Dublin 9 -Glasnevin, Ballymun etc. 86.44.205.61 (talk) 00:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Stevenson, C., Hope against hope., 2nd DCU Conference, Solutions Focused Therapy, 15-SEP-06 - 15-SEP-06, School of Nursing, DCU, Whitehall, Dublin 9 This gives it as Whitehall. If it is good enough for the Uni then it should be good enough for wikipedia 86.40.208.160 (talk) 13:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Builders consortium and methods
The flats were built by a consortium of builders "Cubitt Haden and Sisk". They were "system built", i.e. assembled from preformed concrete slabs slotted together. I believe the slabs were manufactured nearby in St Margarets. Gaps between slabs were then sealed with material. There were reports of gaps not properly sealed and drafts entering the flats at places in the towers. I lived in Ballymun and I also witnessed the delivery of slabs, cranes moving along special rail-tracks and lifting the slabs into place etc. I'm reluctant to edit the source, I merely offer this as something of interest to others. More research is probably needed. Stephen Moran (talk) 17:20, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
