. . . and wear nice hats!

In a cajual fashion?

Didn’t the last protest result in Canary Dwarf? How can you ‘protest’ against high-rise (and I’m not even a fan)?

NOT A CHANCE…….!!!!!!!!:p

ahh 1999 the good old days…. i remember it like it twas yesterday with the march’s by the granny brigade. Your looking at a piece of history in this post because these things don’ t happen anymore…

‘Organised by several inner city communities’…:rolleyes:

what would we kill for ambition like that in today;s environment?

and i emphasise “ambition” – not necessarily the construction of this itself. Or is that the problem? Over ambition in times of plenty – unbuildable applications, inertia, bust and then nothing but vacancy and dereliction.

Spot on Alonso… and a trend that would be much exacerbated should Dublin’s proposed new high rise policy get through, incentivise antisocial site-banking and all that…

I remember the original protest well and it’s amusing to think about considering that we totally failed to build ANY highrise buildings in the area whatsoever.
