- Wood Quay
Wood Quay ("An Ché Adhmaid" in Irish) is a riverside area of
Dublin that was a site ofViking settlement.Dublin Corporation acquired Wood Quay gradually between1950 and1975 , finally announcing that it would be the location of their new offices. Finds made during the initial excavation of the site led to a massive, but ultimately unsuccessful, public campaign to halt the development. Finds from Wood Quay are now on display in theNational Museum of Ireland .The site is now entirely occupied by
Dublin City Council 's Civic Offices.Bibliography
