BENCHMARKS continued

They say that Naas is a terrible place.” Well actually its not so bad these days - except for the traffic and the dearth of parking spaces. There has been a lot of development there in recent years and it is now a fulcrum for many hamlets in the Greater Dublin Hinterland. The new County Council Offices development has resulted in the almost total demolition of what remained of the Infantry Barracks, except for one small building on which is this one.
