Wonder where they propose putting the Sheehan memorial now. I know of a wooden box is St Anne’s Park that’s looking for a new tenant :thumbup:
Another one of our city’s neglected water features:
Irvine Welsh Backs Connolly Bridge Campaign

Should have gotten Mary McAleese in 🙂
Bram Stoker, in keeping with the current trend?

I wonder would he extend his services to the removal of illegal shop signage around the city, seeing as DCC aren’t much bothered doing it themselves.
Rosie Hackett it is…
I think the best women won.
The nearly complete Rosie Hackett Bridge
The light poles are causing some discussion
The Sheehan Memorial in its new location.
Interesting to see the quay bumper to bumper during rush hour…I can see the conflict once Luas comes along.
Those light posts were rather played down during the planning phase.
To be fair, i’d have to agree that they have achieved a remarkably slender profile given the width and competing needs that had to be catered for.
The light poles however are just tack.
Burgh Quay isn’t looking so hot from that first picture.
Sooooo…
Now then.
Any comments about our new slice of civic infrastructure?
Anyone?
Anyone in the architectural professional still alive?
It’s tricky making out if the widespread deafening silence is indifference, or more of the usual fingers-in-the-ears lalalalalala it’s not happeninnnnng peer-review response, or because what has been delivered is such a gobsmacking triumph of engineering over aesthetics that the design profession is still rolling around on the ground, gasping for air.
2020 Dublin = Birmingham
I think it’s very nice. It lifts the whole area. Dublin is already worse than Birmingham. It looks like a third world country. Nice to have something new and clean for a change.
a worthy companion for Butt Bridge.
