First opened in 1999, the museum closed in late 2001 with losses estimated at approximately €1.5 million.[6][7] Material from the museum later formed part of a touring exhibition until 2005, with some memorabilia also used in the "Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum Experience" in Temple Bar which opened in 2015.[3]
Mr Desmond took over the running of the premises in March 2001, but the Hall of Fame ceased trading in September of that year
Back in the late 1990s, the Hot Press Hall of Fame [opened] on Dublin's Middle Abbey Street in the building which now houses The Academy venue.
