The penny dropped for me on that one when the list of Councillors was put up.

I don’t think I have ever seen anything as petty in my life

There were valid arguments both ways on whether a good contemporary design should have replaced a listed the building at that spot.

But the fact that it wasn’t listed when the application was lodged or even at an advanced pre-planning was grossly unfair.

The only time to effect changes in listing are at the making of a development plan, except in the most extreme of circumstances. Which didn’t exist in the Sligo case.

If something similar happened to me away from home, I would have thought I had entered the Twilight Zone.
