    My grandfather a protestant from Portadown served his time as a butcher at Denny’s in Waterford before WW2 he went to his church in Tramore on Sundays. He also played soccer (football in the north) for Waterford FC in the 1930s.

      I guess that will make it Ireland's one and only underground station, so I suppose we ought to welcome it for that alone! Even if one station is some way short of a metro system, and not to mention that it will be in the wrong city!!

      Just for information. Waterford started a trend with Waterford Walls. It’s now a feature in Cork & Limerick to name just two others. It seems some people like them.
