😮 Christ, you would not see the likes of that in the Falls Road, Belfast in the bad days…looks almost as bad as the FF office in Bishopstown, Cork.
Never tried to post a photo before, how is it done?
I will try and post a photo tomorrow if i can figure it out.That attitude cost him a seat in the Pembroke Ward

A planning enforcement notice has been issued with respect to the eurcycles shop
(south william street).I’m not sure how long it’s been there but the poker place on eden quay is possibly worse than Eurocycles – huge, plastic, backlit sign that is way oversized and hangs too low. I didn’t get a photo last night but anyone who passes it at night will see what I mean 🙁
well what i did with eurocycles was to check if any planning permission had been given or sought in the last few years , and there hadn’t been. I don’t know if there is a time limit to these things though.
how long is the poker joint there ?
I think it’s been there a while but I only noticed the garish sign last night so I’m guessing it’s new. I’ll send a letter to planning enforcement later and see what they say.

i would add that they seem to be very very busy . as it took a good month or two to get a letter back from the council.
I am assuming that eurocycles have done nothing .. Does anybody know what the is next thing to do ?
Don’t worry yet a boyle. It’s a long process – ranging from notices being issued, to enforcement proceedings being enacted or the subject property entering into negotiations with the authority as to a timeframe for remedial works, without official enforcement being necessary.
And especially with DCC being as stretched as they are, I’d give them a while.
Have you been to the shop lately?Not all Spar signs are that bad, just look at the sign on the Spar within the Irish Bar complex on Church St. Although I must admit that Spar in particular is the worst offender over all in comparison to other chains. Some chains claim that due to strict rules of the franchise they must have a particular signage with set colours, this is rubbish as adaption to a particular area is no way prevented, its just cheaper to use a generic standard signs
That sign is an affront to plastic signage

It’s under the Clifton Court hotel and beside the new building, Aston/Ashton court.
It used to be Spi pub, was briefly “trendy” and was owned by Hugh O’Regan. He sold it on a good few years ago to a couple of guys who own a gay bar on the quays – don’t know the name of it – and it was then partly turned into a lap dancing club. Obviously that didnt work so they’re moving onto the next “craze”

What? You mean the lap-dancing craze is over? Oh for shame. And just as I was about to jump on the bandwagon…;)
Still, here’s my chance to get in on the ground floor of the Texas Hold’em craze. You heard it here first, folks!!
