Re: Re: The failure of Ireland

Darkman get a grip, for a start “the failure of Ireland” is nonsense,from the 1920’s through to the 1980’s I can agree with, but now we’re just another affluent EU state.

Have you not read the article on here about the harmony of the quays being the essence of the town, well it’s true, take a walk from Grand canal basin to Heuston and back up the other side to the Point depot and if you’re not exhilirated and thrilled you haven’t looked very hard at what’s going on.

Dublin has also got some of the meanest neighbourhoods close to the city center, the nastiset near derelict sites, most forbidding looking flats complexes I’ve come across in a European town, but that’s all part of the interesting mix, you know, all human life is there…..
