recentralisation not decentralisation

Exclusive images of new Irish Governments Departments.

you don’t know the name of the group do u?
and indeed the mistakes of the past are ensuring that it’s like running into a brick wall to try and convince them about the value of apartments but it may be worth it in the long run. and unfortunately the devoloper was a major contributor to that as the architect was sindlined and just got paid to sign off..if he didn’t someone else would!!! dog eat dog world. but i agree it could have been designed better so not all blame can be deflected but there wasn’t as many restrictions so crap design was easier to get passed. that aside just a trip to other countries would help any of the doubters. i suggest holland… they might also try the local herbs and come back with totally different views. 🙂
oh! this city wasn’t the city planned for mayo..the one with the religious name?

i must say there are some good examples of apartments going up around the place due to the influx of new blood to architecture and the revialtisation of the older stock.

are there “boundaries” to this linear city. i mean to say ..take a line about a mile from the main highway and define that as a boundary. and would there be a case for it to be the length of say dub to gal. if so there would need to be more than 1 airport and would u suggest having an airport for cargo and another for people. in ur disseration did u comment on any of the above and did u make any decisiion as to what format u favoured?

Fin,

Frankfurt is the model for an Airport. Shame about Lufthansa being a crap airline, sorry had to say that.

Cargo City there is based on the old Rein-Main airbase used for the Berlin Airlift in 1948.

Have a look at it particularly the milestones page. The way they moved away from upfront development and changed the tenanting structure to design and build and sale and leaseback.

Knock in many ways has many simularities with a lot of decommisioned USAF bases, in so much as you have a proper runway and a lot of surrounding land.

The studys have been done for similar projects at even more peripheral locations in Asia.

The studys were followed by actual developments that have were highly successful
but I believe our unique ability not to get anything involving airports right (other than cheap fags) would doom it to failure.

Not eliminating the potential for a conspiracy theory it was Horan the bishop who got Irish-Americans to send cheques for $50-100 a time to pay for Knock, the first flight went to guess where?

Doubts raised over decentralisation plans

http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0115/decentralisation.html

The association representing thousands of the country’s top civil servants has warned there are serious doubts over the Government’s decentralisation plans.

General Secretary of the Association of Higher and Public Civil Servants Séan O’Riordain has told RTÉ News the indications are that there would only be a 15% take-up of the proposed scheme of decentralisation of Government departments.

Following a special meeting of its executive and consultative committee this evening, the organisation also warned that if the Government were to go ahead with the plan, it could have serious implications for the working of the civil service itself.
