Wood Quay (''An Ché Adhmaid'' in Irish ) is a riverside area of Dublin that was a site of Viking settlement. Dublin Corporation acquired Wood Quay gradually between 1950 and 1975 , finally announcing that it would be the location of their new offices. Finds made during the initial excavation of the site led to a massive, but ultimately unsuccessful, public campaign to halt the development. Finds from Wood Quay are now on display in the National Museum Of Ireland . The site is now entirely occupied by Dublin City Council 's Civic Offices. BIBLIOGRAPHY
