Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

justnotbothered:

Certainly that area of the city needs some work, and many of the buildings need fixed up or indeed replaced. However, the area does have distinct character and it would just turn into a soulless series of tunnels between apartment blocks if the development is just crude money-making. I think in that area of the city any buildings replaced should be replaced by the kind of simple buildings built on Wickham street recently. The kind of buildings in a lot of towns in Ireland – they are new and have apartments etc. but do not jar with the remaining old style buildings.

There’s plenty of other areas in the city for high-rise.
