Re: Re: Grafton Street, Dublin

The Grafton Street ‘Architectural Conservation Area’ is a joke. The owners of the Vodafone building at the top of the street have just installed a giant video billboard on their Georgian facade. It covers the entire first floor, obscuring the windows, and is brutally drilled into the beautiful red brick. A little bit of Piccadilly Circus on our own main street. Sorry I don’t have a photo – words can’t convey the horror.

Does anyone know if the ACA is just a set of aspirational guidelines or can it actually be enforced?
