Old PRONI building to be demolished

The BBC is reporting that the old PRONI premises at Balmoral Avenue are to be demolished to make way for housing. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-24260712

Good riddance!

I visited the old PRONI building about twelve years ago, and was so mortified by the experience that I didn't return for almost a decade, until the new place was built. I hated the old building - the difference with the old premises and the new building is the difference between night and day.

If like me you used to suffer from PRONI-itis, check out the new digs at Titanic Quarter. They found a cure!

In the meantime, for the latest news from PRONI, read my account from the recent user forum meeting at http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/proni-september-user-forum-meeting.html
