Today saw the opening of a building at the local ESB power station which will used as an artefacts center for a range of electrical items.The center will be known as The Dalton Center and will become available to public view in 2005.
Formerly built as a blending bunker for mixing peat deliveries a lot of work remains to be done before it opens for public viewing.Government Minister Dermot Aherne performed the opening in the presence of power station staff and
invited guests.Afterwards everybody was invited to a buffet lunch served in the canteen by staff from The Bog Oak bar and restaurant.
It will be used to store / re-store large inustrial artefacts relating to the energy sector and will be open from Monday to Friday when it opens in 2005.
