Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

QUOTE FROM ABOVE “Eircom are indulging in a phone kiosk installation extravaganza on OC street at the moment…. You better get in their quick Fenetec”

Well, I did place a second one at the O’Brien Monument but your observation could not be missed as regards Eircom. As is usual in these matters the goalposts are on a moving rail. At the beginning of discussions with DCC Mr. Skay told me that NO PHONES, were being placed on the footpaths. I agreed with that and located on the central median. Then, directly opposite, Eircom planted theirs on the footpath ! Next, Smart Telecom (or now not so smart telecom) placed one of theirs directly opposite my unit and about ten metres south of Eircom’s – where? On the pavement where we all agreed they would not go.

The gas thing about it is that both Eircom and Smart are in a well publicised war at the moment and both are offering calls to anywhere in the world for 10cent per minute including Vat ! Is it any wonder that the poor unfortunates who invested their last few bob in savings lost so much money in shares in these companies? Ask them will they give you calls for the same price and see what they will say!

Worse news for you guys who (rightly) seem to care about O’Connell Street is that when I asked a certain Architect in DCC yesterday what the hell was going on he said that the phones on the pavement had to be allowed as there are seven more to go up! Some obviously without dial tone!

On an aside issue, I am removing the one from beside the Spire and replacing it with the same design as the one beside Mr. O’Brien. Then, before I erect anymore I am refurbishing all my existing installations with the same type. So, I haven’t gone away, just trying to do things half right, but sometimes I wonder why?
