For all the raised level of awareness about architectural value and urban environments in recent years how is it possible that the bale-of-bricks that is the Jervis shopping centre was allowed. Its sheer bulk and height would alone be cause for anxiety at the planning stage while the non-descript, and edge-of-motorway, ugly 'design' should have prevented its receipt of planning approval. Why is it not listed as one of the ugliest buildings for the vote page? For its ugliness, size, location and recent construction it surely deserves to be shortlisted.

I disagree! Have you ever even been in the Jervis Centre? Its quite an excellent piece of architecture both inside and out, in my opinion. While the car-park may be a bit bulky, its certainly not as bad as any other multi-storeys in Dublin. I can accept that some people might think that the Centre is not the best modern building in Dublin, but it is certainly sympathetic to its dreadful surroundings and I don't think it's in any way ugly.

PoMo trash. It provides the most compelling argument for high-rise in Dublin - tall buildings all around might hide its bulk. The view across the River from Dame Street (yes, there is one) has changed forever.

i like the dome on top it works well and that front is good,the rest is not great but its no-where near the worst thing out there(irish life mall)
