Poor Dominick Street…probably one of the finest of Dublin’s Gerorgian streets in it heyday but one of its largest slums in the early 20thC which is why so many builidngs were torn down. It remains Dublin’s greatest tragedy that so many beautiful streetscapes were lost to the slums rather than adapted as apartments in the late 19th and early 20th C.Its funny as it had coloured how we live to such a great degree, most notably our love affair with suburbs.
I havent seen whats being suggested for this area,,,, as usual DCC’s website fails dismally. I imagine a flavour of what will replace these flats can be seen on Upper Dominick Street where a new Council development was completed about 3 years ago. Its not particularly inspiring or attractive.
The public domain along Dominick Street is a state as well. Narrow pavement when they could easily be wider. No trees, crap lighting….nothing to inspire its residents to feel in anyway positive about their area, Shame,
