I though that might get a chuckle.
Some of the documents submitted as part of the planning application are very interesting, expecially the photographic surveys.

And please can we move this to the Foster Place thread. I don’t know what the recent spawning of scrappy new threads is about.
Agreed. The huge single subject threads are great and are what puts this forum on the internet “map” (i.e. high up in any Google search). It’s a bit confusing when threads are subsequently merged or split so it should be done quickly before the new (duplicate) threads take on a life of their own. Is Paul reading this?

What on earth Trinity College are at, as a public institute of education, effectively one step behind an arm of the State in terms of cultural patronage, whoring their flagship properties out as upmarket superpubs is absolutely beyond me
.Well, given that they got rid of a pub in the Buttery, this would just be bringing Trinity back to a position which existed before for quite some time. The revenue from the pub could also be ploughed back into investment in college facilities and services. Given that Trinity is very space-confined, using a pub as a means of financing new space for faculties mightn’t be such a bad thing.

Well just to be clear Cathal this is different from the Buttery, that was a facility for students, this isn’t: all that has happened is that the college has leased some property, it isn’t a college bar, it is a bar on college property, like Kennedy’s.

Great views out to college green and the bank. It could be a lot worse.I agree about the pub tho, especially an overscaled version like the others on Dame st. Its hard to know what to do with it.

Ah you’re right, I was only trying to be anti-capitalist-chic in having a go at Starbucks. Anything that encourages a civilized use of the area is a good thing
(I feel guilty discussing Foster Place on this thread now, I don’t want to annoy the pedantic members of our community!) 😮
