Re: Re: Thomas Street & James Street, Dublin!

Yes agree with that. The whole system is incoherent. Designation of buildings (especially 2001 at the adoption of the substantive RPSs of counties as as result of the new Planning Act) has been arbitrary and not based on any rational or verifable (or probably accurate) information. The NIAH process grinds on years and years since the first listings were published. Its is a joke.

Of course this building also lies with a statutory ACA, which should offer some protection to its neighbours. But who pays a blind bit of attention to those, least of all in the Council.
