During a visit to Longford we make our way into the town's 2008-completed but as-of-2010 unoccupied shopping centre. The building is a shell, with exposed concrete floors and columns awaiting the suspended ceilings, metallic shelves and linoleum floors of retail units.
Motion sensors within the building detect activity on the "public" plaza outside. The prerecorded voice activated by our approach warns us, as trespassers on private property. We are told that Gardaí have been informed of our presence, and are advised to move on swiftly.
The message is not very clear - the building's security systems seem to have aged more than the building itself, and the struggling P.A. sounds like wind blowing on open pipes.
