Excitement is mounting this week in the Fingal capital as another annual event looms large - only this time a full two weeks early. Management at Swords Central Shopping Centre have announced the right hand door at the Main Street entrance will re-open next Sunday 27th March at 11am.
Regular visitors to the shopping mall will know that for much of the year shoppers are greeted by a left hand door that opens and a right hand one that sadly remained shut and blocked with a cone. It is understood that heat preservation was the reason. Since last Autumn management at Swords Central have been liaising closely with "Climewatch Ireland" the new government agency charged with monitoring global warming in Ireland. Its understood that the agency advised that the date to open both doors could be brought forward by a fortnight in time for Easter Sunday. Rising temperatures are understood to be the reason.
Newly re-elected TD Alan Farrell reacted positively to the news stating " The fact that even the weather has improved in recent months is further evidence that the policies of the outgoing government were working and a genuine recovery was taking place". However Independent TD Clare Daly angrily attacked the decision citing the temperature rise as "Makey uppey rubbish pushed down our throats by a government appointed gang of scientific cronies" Deputy Daly forecast that the rise would be used as an excuse by the incoming government to increase Water Charges in 2017.
Despite threatened protests the reopening ceremony will go ahead as planned Gardaí confirmed last night. Some traffic restrictions may apply between 10.30 and 11.30 am as the "Removing of the Cone Ceremony " takes place.
Earlier in the day management stated that the ceremony would be carried out by a "Fair City cast member living in Swords". As eleven Fair City cast members live in the Swords region SSS can only hazard a guess as to which one !
