Re: Re: O’ Connell Street, Dublin

If you tore down at least a third of the buildings on both quays and replaced them with interesting modern architecture, painted over or removed all the grey plaster (which blights Dublin in general), concealed the swarm of wires nailed to the front of every building, put in appropriate windows, actually cleaned these buildings, put in appropriate shop fronts, widened and improved the pavements, removed the poles and other clutter, and removed most of the bus traffic, you would have a couple of nice quays.

He said Eden Quay “is one of the more attractive quays in the city”. That’s like saying Susan Boyle is beautiful, just because she would be if she lost 50 pounds, dyed her hair, and went to a plastic surgeon.
