Yeiks – that miniature yellow statue looks like it was intended for a store further down the street…

Has anybody here sent a formal complaint to DCC regarding these ‘temporary’ signs?
DCC are very aware of what’s going on Morlan. Some cases are being investigated, but nothing short of a wholescale crackdown is in order at this point. The message really needs to get out there.
Essentially it’s only the banks and major stakeholders that do things by the book.As for the statue, Frank sums up all the pros very well. It’s a piece of urban street history that has a unique connection with the street (assuming it actually is the 1922 statue). Were it not a relic of that troubled time, or a freak, ad hoc development from a few decades ago when Ireland was a very different place, I’d say ditch it. But it is, and it is.
Fair point kefu – only there’s commercial tat and social tat 😉Indeed the statue looks so preposterous inside the sleek granite and glass case that it’s really quite funny – it looks like O’Connell Street has swallowed it: engulfed by the trademark ubiquity of the IAP refurbishment. So much so that it’s actually quite easy just to see the case and not the content itself, unless you want to go to the effort of seeing it. So top marks all round.
an interesting contrast to the jc decaux farce:
Well I was hoping somebody would have uploaded some pics of the “Segregated” Southbound Cycle Lane between Abbey St and Eden Quay..
I am assuming that the City Council will make available the Environmantal Impact Assessment report……..(The INDEPENDENT one I trust)
I am also sure that we shall be able to study the INDEPENDENT Safety Audit of the “New HI-Tech” arrangements……:eek:From an architectural perspective I believe the slim lines of the black floppy poles compliment the Baulistrading on O Connell Bridge SO well…don`t you agree people…???? 😉
New interventions? I’ll try to take a look at lunchtime- I work not too far away.
Also, does anyone know why the flags on Clery’s are at half-mast today?

I was in Superquinn car park when it happened. Fair play to the guys 🙁
For the firemen? Wow. Was there a Clery’s connection?
Also, I got a picture of the cycle lane on OCS Lower which I’ll post later from home.
ok, unless if there’s something wrong with me, i’m pretty sure that wasn’t there tonight. (there probably is something wrong with me).
Well,If yiz want something even BETTER….hop on a 46A as far as Leeson St/Appian Way/Waterloo Rd. (Bring your flask and sandwiches)
Then be prepared to be amazed and elevated to a far higher plane at the scope of DCC`s professional planning branch as one attempts to take in Irelands ONLY Bicycle Dual carriageway divided by a Bus Lane with (For added safety) a Bus Stop on the inside.Also take in the “Warning Sign” which I`m sure IS contained in the “Road Signs Manual”……well maybe the one used in the Childrens Art Competition.
I suspect Civic Offices has been the subject of a Hallucinogenic Mushroom Gas attack by Aliens from the planet Muppit…….Now where IS that P45 form….???? 😡
Maybe they could put a Jesus on top of each one. Do they wiggle when touched? (Enough sarcasm. Only apt comment WTF!!!)

Just checked this morning and they’re still there. Presumably wishful thinking on your part, Peter.
