Bob,

That's good news. It was a boon to the area last time. Plus with Waterford Crystal kaput they need a draw for the area. A new crystal facility is supposed to open this year but I really don't see it happening yet. Plus who knows where the crystal will be made?

Bill, 

Thanks for those links. I am aware of those press releases. I was in Waterford in October for a week. I think they are grand plans. I do believe that eventually they will open something. But knowing the Irish penchant for postponing things, I don't think it will happen as quickly as they hope. It would be great if the new Waterford center opens in June but I won't hold my breath.
