      She should be setting an example to have a better standard of design in the countryside.

      I agree completely – being in the public eye, she has a duty to promote Ireland whether its our industry, our countryside or our design!

      She submitted a monstrosity of a house for planning, as ill proportioned as I have ever seen, and landed it plonk in the middle of the Irish landscape, beside a lake, with no regard to indiginous forms nor any attempt to create a thing of aesthetic beauty. This, for the President of Ireland, as a represantative of Irish people and their standards, is an unacceptable act of thoughtless behaviour. This must be a sore thorn in Mary Robinson’s side, considering her husband was one of the individuals who set up the Irish Architectural Archive.
