Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

It is very true that central sites are getting rarer by the day and it is equally true that Marlborough St is the most under-performing street in all of Central Dublin. This is an utter disgrace when you consider that this Street contains

1> The Cathedral of the majority religion.
2> The National Theatre
3> The Planning Appeals Board
4> The Headquarters of the Department of Education.
5> The most important Tourism and hospitality College in the Country

It is not a very hospitable place unfortunately and this Street should be one of Dublins best given its location and strategically important occupiers, what really galls me is the dreadful multi-storey car-park that received tax incentives for what has only served to deteriorate the setting still further. There is a very fine terrace of Georgians between DIT and the Cathedral that many of are in terrible condition and no intervention is made whilst a house in poor condition in Upper Leeson St was CPO’d earlier this year. Unfortunately it would appear that this Street does not exist in the eyes of certain people and like Cathedral Street and Sackville Place it has been left to rot.

Re; O’Connell St, The banner has now gone from above cafe Kylemore, McDonalds on Upper O’Connell St has bush sized weeds growing on its gable and yes Theobald Matthew is very white.
