For those interested, there is a short piece (5pages or so) on the controversy of the building of Busaras in History Ireland magazine, summer issue.
Busaras is 50 this year and we’ll have a new enlarged area on it very shortly.
The article is by some young fella called Paul Clerkin. Dunno him myself.

A fascinating piece, Paul. Well done.
I was particularly intrigued with the detail of how The Irish Times published an inaccurate mock-up as part of a campaign against Busaras. The newspaper cutting reproduced in History Ireland is quite startling, the Irish Times claimed that Busaras would dominate over the Customs House.
What a con job by the Old Lady of D’Olier Street! Scott should have taken them for millions.

Will you be able to post the article? I have ben so busy with work and all that i didnt get a change to go out and get it. Can I ask why you are so fond of Busaras? I think its a fantiatic building (well was, its a bit crappy at the moment) but you seem to be its biggest fan i’d love to know what is about it that you like so much.
