The former Sean McDermott Street Laundry should remain in the hands of the state and transformed in to a heritage site, say some of its former detainees.
A major vote on the fate of the site was due to take place at Dublin City Council today but has been adjourned until September 13th.
Sixty three councillors will vote on whether to halt the proposed sale of the laundry to a Japanese hotel group for a bid of around €14.5 million.
