    If you consider a couple of measly 500w bulbs that cast a shred of light to the extreme ends of the building, and eight uplighters at the bse of the columns, half of which are blown at an given time as floodlighting…..
    If they can blast Government Buildings out of it at nightime, why can’t the same be done with Leinster House? They have also yet to do properly:
    The Custom House, Four Courts, Ntl Museum & Library & GPO. WAKE UP OPW!!!

    Probably not floodlit due to the chequer-board look that it has since the stonework was patched up

    It does look pretty weird, esp in contrast with the weird browny coloured stone of the rest of the building. Its granite is’nt it? Also that new cut stone addition to the left of the facade has now lopsided the building. Are there any plans to build a mirror image it on the other side in place of that Victorian addition?
