Must say it looks pretty impressive on the website
Thanks for the link murfee, looks very impressive there!! The swing bridge looks bigger than I expected.

I thought the planning app was for 27 stories, will we forgive Tommy 3 stories!!! 🙂
The website says 28, but that probably excludes the tall roof garden/gallery which would “kinda” take it up to 30 stories.

And of course the tree house they are putting in as well……that will bring it up to 31 floors!!:D

Nobody has really said whether they like the scheme or not, what do you all think?
looks pretty good, thought more could be made of the event centre and its hard to get a sense of what colours etc it will look like on the outside but it beats a yard to store cars any day
In the examiner today that Origin (who are IAWS) will sumbit an application for a development on one part of their site ( i think they own 32 acres in total) before July 31
…and the application mentioned is for a 2 acre site they hold at the Victoria rd end of the Docklands…
I’m impressed by the new plans. When can we expect a decision from the local planing authority? Do these plans still include a light rail proposal?
For those of you interested in what might happen to Pairc Ui Chaoimh in the future, city councillors recently held a vote on the motion
‘That Cork City Council as part of any arrangement they may enter into with the
Cork County Board in relation to the development of Pairc UÃ Chaoimh by way of
transfer of land that Cork City Council would insist / express its desire to see Pairc UÃ
Chaoimh be made available to other sporting codes.’the motion was, amazingly, defeated
Am I completely wrong in this but are these councillors in tune with what the people actually want? Whats the point in having a white elephant 60,000 seat stadium going empty for most of the year and taxpayers funds being used if the Cork County Board are given some public owned land to make the stadium bigger?FOR: Comhairleoirà M. Quill, M. Barry, C. Clancy, J. O’Brien, D. McCarthy, M. O’
Connell, L. Kingston. (7)AGAINST: Comhairleoirà T. Brosnan, D. Wallace, T. Fitzgerald, D. Counihan, C.
O’ Leary, D. O’ Flynn, T. Shannon, J. Corr, S. Martin, T. O’ Driscoll, F. Dennehy, M.
Shields, M. Ahern, J. Buttimer. (14)That’s just brilliant. In my ward, five voted against and one didn’t bother to vote. That makes it easy for me to decide who to vote for next time out :rolleyes:
Actually, looking at that list, we have
For: Labour(x3), Sinn Fein, PD, Ind , Soc
Against: FF (x9), Green, Labour(x2), FG (x2)So a few questions
Was there a party decision to vote against by Fianna Fail councillors?
Why did so few Sinn Fein (1/3) and Fine Gael (2/8) councillors vote at all? [FF managed 9/10 and Labour 5/6]http://www.atlanticquarter.ie/
Nice website……..looks interesting.
Towers are designed by Foster + Partners – the same guys behind U2 tower.@jungle wrote:

interesting analysis jungle, fair play, Fianna Fail have major questions to answer along with ineffectual opposition
Another image I hadn’t seen before, of the top of the towers. The design seems a bit more interesting than just tall cylinders. In fact, from that shot it looks like two waterfalls streaming from the top of them!
at the launch it looks like those waterfall things will have tree/shrub things going from the bottom to the gardens in the top of the towers – the designers were looking at blarney castle being surrounded by and becoming part of the green landscape apparently – just like the cladding on the elysian
The towers are not cyclinders, more like three petals on plan, achieving duel aspect to almost all units. Not sure about the waterfalls though!
According to todays Examiner, there has only been one objection to Howard Holdings Atlantic Quarter plan – from some residents in Montenotte – Surprise Surprise. I think its great news and shows how much we all want to actually see this plan happen
That’s ridiculous…am I correct in saying you’re not entitled to a view? So what are they complaining about in Montenotte?

Cant see the planners taking any notice of this – wouldnt it be refreshing for permission to be granted without any unnecessary delays
absolutely, fingers crossed for that development, prob have to clear Bord Pleanala at some stage but definitely a smashing looking development
