Tower block demolished in Ballymun

More than 30 years after it was built, another of the Ballymun towers was reduced to rubble today in the latest stage of the area's regeneration.

Minister of State Noel Ahern, who was in Ballymun, Dublin, to lead the count-down to the controlled implosion of the 15-storey block of flats, said it was "another symbolic day" for the area.
