Frontpage of Hibernia Weekly Review 14 December 1978 with ‘Showdown on Wood Quay’ headline.
A site on Wood Quay was acquired by Dublin Corporation for their HQ in the 1970s. Excavations turned up a major viking settlement, but a vocal campaign to stop the construction of the new headquarters was unsuccessful. It was one of the key local battles of the decade.
