Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / November 19 2003: Eco price just too high for 'Ceaucescu meets Mickey Mouse' fantasy

The Irish Independent

The announcement of a proposal to construct a theme park the size of a small city on 2,500 acres in Fingal, the food basket for Dublin, was met by a reaction of shock and disbelief in Fingal County Council according to the developer who spoke to a reporter in the 'Fingal Independent' (October 17, 2003). A first look at the artist's impressions attached to the proposal brings to mind words like "massive", "fantasy", "Ceaucescu" and "Mickey Mouse".
