I AGREE.
To what exactly, PLK? because I suspect “Nora/(Norris?)” is being sarcastic.
I have always had time for Senator Norris, who generally speaks a huge amount of sense in to the void, as it were. But these gates are entirely misguided and inappropriate.
I have always thought of Sen. Norris as a proud advocate of living in the city, that he stood for openness and freedom of thought. But I disappointed to discover I’m wrong. He’s obvously more interested in elitism and cliques and the creation of “superior society”.Quite right Macker, whats rong with the sort of traffic calming that other streets have got such as South William Street, or is that only good enough for the rest of us. putting gates on this street does warrent an extinguishing of right of way, creating a exclusive (and pretentious) enclave (Downing Street how are ye!!!).

Ah,would you’s ever stoppit out ‘a’ that and lave the man alone, sure he’s only stoppin’ the jallopies from drivin up the bleedin’ street, ye’s pretentious little opionated upstarts. And callin’ him Nora too,how insultin’…you’s with your misjudgements. Georgian streets were’nt designed for Henry Ford’s pride and joy……….it was Landaus in my day.You’s yuppies think yis own all the bleendin’ roads and can drive and park anywhere in the city with yis’ er cars and mobile phones. Go on out a tha.!
“JJ” Hmmmmm! Does that stand for James Joyce?? More sarcasm I wonder?
And another thing! (rant, rant)
Why is calling him Nora insulting? For a start – we didn’t! David W and I merely speculated if “Nora” was an all too transparant psuedonom for the Senator considering his enthusiasm for all things Joyce.
Appologies to Nora if I’m wrong!I can understand the need for traffic calming with the internet superhighway whooshing through one’s drawing room.
Jasus,ye’s seem to get upset over the least of things,(bollards or gates).This sarcasm stuff was only a bit of humour.Ye’s should have an auld gargle now and again….. helps soothe the nerves.School must be gettin’ ye’s down. Get out a bit more, instead of sitting on your arse all day long lookin at the computer. Visit the odd pub around Dublin, meet the people.Here’s an auld saying and it goes like this……. When things go wrong and they wont go right and ye do the best ye can, and ‘Life’looks black like the dark of night, a ‘Pint of Plain’ is your only man.
Welcome to Prose.web the website not at all interested in ARCHITECTURE, but instead discussing old Dublin guff.
ENOUGH PLEASE

Come on……sure is’nt it all part of the felicitous web of culture of Dublin city. Surely architects /architectural buffs must possess an astute awareness/interest in in the rich fabric of all the arts. If not,well then we are lost. I’ll say no more.
‘A true artist’
Right, enough messing and back to the topic in hand please!
At the begining of this forum Barry Doyle noted that 14th of April was the last date for objections. Has a decision been made by now – have there been any appeals – what is the current planning status.
And Sen. Norris, if you’re watching, I’d be interested in hearing your version of the backround to the gates as many contributors here seem to want to speak for you.
