Vandalised city landmark to open for Tall Ships Race

A WATERFORD city centre landmark targeted by vandals on numerous occasions is getting a major revamp and will be open in time for the Tall Ships Race, city officials have promised.

The spectacular Millennium Plaza on the quays is a haven on sunny days. But in recent times, it has been overrun by skateboarders and those engaged in anti-social activity. On several occasions, it has been destroyed by vandals and thugs.

But work on the site is now well underway; CCTV cameras are being installed and the revamped plaza will be open shortly, according to city council senior engineer Frank Roche.
