Dublin Corporation has already called in engineering
consultants to devise the best system of keeping sludge down
and maintaining the water level at a permanent minimum level
of one metre.It is understood a simple weir along the Liffey, probably
alongside the Customs House, is being considered. http://www.independent.ie/2000/221/d08k.shtmlI thought that the Corpo were going to clean the quay walls; they have put the new boardwalk up on the muck filthy stained walls.Pease give them a blast and wash them…common sense says.
i thought the structure along the north quay wall was there to clean the walls (joking)
I have serious reservations about this scheme, not with the design, but with its reasoning and its use.
Too little space on the north quay pushes pedestrians out over the water…
and what will be located on it but bookstalls i believe…????least sheltered area of city….north quay
all makes snese to me????The new Liffey Boardwalk reminds me of one of those clip-on toilet cleaners, but somebody forgot to flush the loo?
They are going to clean the walls, i beloieve it will cost 2 million and when theyre doing that, they intend cleaning the rubbish out, and building a small weir to keep a minimun of a metre of water in the Liffey at all times.
Money well spent definitely, I’d say ….. but, but, but what about the St. Vincent de Paul and the homeless’ as Tony Gregory would say….’This money is being wasted’ he would say.’A waste of tax payers money’ he’d say. UFO Mr.Gregory.
Does’nt the quay walls look 100% better now that they have started to clean them. The boardwalk looks an interesting feature too; I’ll say it will be a success despite all the negavity and hoo-haw over it. Pessimism, negativity and stagnation is rampant in this country. Well done to John Fitzgerald, he is a man who really wants to get things done for the overall betterment of the city.
I see from yesterday’s papers that An Taisce is bothered about the cleaning of the walls. Bad for them and their structure, it seems. Oh, God.
An Taisce has a gripe with everything that is proposed for the city. I suppose they want the dirt retained because they view it as ‘genuine antique dirt’ the product of times past and therefore an invaluable asset for the city. If one was to pay heed to their constant whingy disapprovals of projects, nothing would be done in the city. As I have said before despite all the whinging and whining they are as effective as a paper umbrella when it really matters. By the way has anyone ever noticed the appaling condition of the grounds of their HQ ‘Tailors Hall’ which faces onto High Street near Christchurch. What an eyesore! Check out the cheap railings and neglected yard. It’s a matter of the kettle calling the pot black arse.
