I find the idea of respecting someone because they hold office rather distateful. To argue that people deserve such respect purelly on the basis of the position is simply foolish.
Irrespective of the war on iraq , Bush was treated with a comical amount of respect as a result of his position. A french diplomat was sacked early in Bush’s first term for reffering to him as a retard after meeting him. Ever since magazines like TIme/Newsweek have repeated ad nauseum that Bush is “people smart” making up for a lack of academic ability. When the plain truth is that he is a gobshite!
Similarly haughey was a thug. nothing more nothing less.
Sorry Graham but you have got it wrong . The only differences in the taoseachs office are the carpets and curtains.
The lighting makes the older picture look better.
The chairs have not changed , the lighting has not changed , simply turned off . The plants have moved . That is about it !
Yes the removal of the table is a pity. Put then this board would howl if some 20 holes were drilled through the original table to allow for cables for the computers.! That is most likely the reason for it’s removal.
Charles Haughey never struck me as someone who had taste, but as someone who wished to be seen to have taste. There is a world of a difference.
Some success.
A planning enforcement notice has been issued with respect to the eurcycles shop
(south william street).1. harcourt building
2. wooden building . (temple bar i presume.)
3. taney luas bridge.
4. new habitat building suffolk street
5. art gallery extension (that should be at the top with harcout building)
yes the eircom ones on grafton street . There is one in front of mac donalds if i am not mistaken . I think they date from around 88. Something simple like that (in a metal that matches what is in oconnel street.)
An anti grafiti coating would be a good idea.
Second please don’t paint the phone themselves in garish colours as eircom did with their blue and orange look.
Putting them in three in a row in two places is much more preferable to putting 6 in seperate slots.
But they should not go in. You should be putting them on the side of buildings , in rows on cathal brugha street.
A row of telephones beside at the taxi rank would be ok.
Well i will praise you for seeking opinions.
My opinion is the same as that already expressed. A good place for public phones is attached to the back/side of the proposed kiosks.
A better place is on the side streets off o’connell street.
Surely your company is not so small that it cannot wait till the kiosks are in place ?
Regarding aesthetics. something neat like the kiosks on grafton street would be a apropriate. But in a style that matched the materials used in oconnel street.
Small neat and attached to something else so that is is not sticking out by itself.
Having examined your website , it would appear that you already have a design for oconnell street. Why not let us have a look and we could give you some feedback.

A boyle why are so so against 1 off housing.. should a person be able to build on their own land???
I agree it should be controlled but I grew up in the country why shouldn’t I be able to build in the country. what annoys me is that every Tom Dick and Harry coming from the city being able to get planning permission and those who have lived in a village all their lives are refused
Agree with you , people from the country should be allowed build in the country. and city folk shouldn’t be living in naas ,portarlington etc. etc.
Next time don’t vote for fianna fail. then your county won’t be raped by dublin. Till then.. .. . bring the cul de sac m3 o ooooo h yeah.
I just could not live in somethig so ugly. what happenned to the basic cottage from the 1950’s 60 70 80 ?… I have been in dozens they are a good deal smaller than your photo. And so didn’t shout for so much attention. Some of the ones i have been in were extended into an L , which meant they were nice and big , but again didn’t take over the countryside.
Hang on couldn’t you just live in village ?
penny the basic reason that on off housing is not a good idea is :
It uses a tremendous amount of space. And destroys lots of farmland (some of the best is around the m50).
It makes traffic a lot worse, because roads with lots of single houses were often never meant to have lots of cars on them. This is ok if there are not too many , but in ireland we have a lot outside dublin. It means that the backroads end up clogged and the dualcarriage ways end up clogged to. Furthermore there is pretty much nothing you can do to improve traffic because there are not enough people even for a bus service.
If it is in the wrong place (on off housing have a habit of being in the wrong place) it tends to cause flooding. This flooding tends to be a lot more severe.
It is insanely expensive to service for electricity ,water and importantly sewerage. Often the first one off houses put in septic tanks but every cant do that . and you get problems … . . . ..
They tend to be very ugly (well in ireland). just check out the other thread on the forum at the minute.
They tend to wreck views .so you end up saying things like : oh that looks nice pitty those houses are there ..’ a lot more.
Right now in dublin it is the traffic. These people have to drive everywhere . and that just isn’t how things work.
why don’t you search this website on the topic of one off housing to see if they are indeed ganging up on me.
If you want to be green and environmentally friendly , then build a smaller house.
You may have to build something similar to your neighbours , but you don’t have to put a tacky porch on it.
i think i would see him as having a overriding hunger for power and wealth that blotted out any dignity, leaving a rather unatractive pathetic invidual.
The number of dermot morgan qutoes that have run through my head in the last few days ….
no i don’t i am sorry . and i won’t be there for some months. But i will try to take photos next time i am in the republic….
hutton wrote:BTW Whats all this about building 3 floors high]well to my mind the reason it is so offensive is that is it basically the traditional country bungalow supersized. The man wants to build a big house so you have to deal with that.
I have seen many very nice looking large modern houses in rural settings (well cork, just in fact in cork. they seem to have been bred to have a bit more taste than the rest of the country)
Some of them were three storey set in front hill or in a dip , and they looked really well. Of course the owners had clearly paid for an architect to design an appropriate large house instead of pulling something out of his ****.
People who build this kinds of houses are just bad people. You know its true , i have met them before …
I am sorry but your house is as ugly as sin. If you want advice . knock it down.
If you want a big house , build it 3 storeys high.
That little porch thing held up with two sticks doesn’t look imposing and grand. It looks cheap and tatty. It suggests you went out looking for refinement but ended up in brothel.
You might think i am harsh. but this design , the new bungalow standard, is the worst . It is neither interesting , nor boring. It doesn’t fit in in a rural , suburban. or urban setting. It is frightful.
If you want to improve it, or at least hide it’s obnoxious bulk (how many children do you have ?) Then plant some trees to hide it . take away the front porch thing, Put in a woooooden door, and woooooden double glazing. And plant some ivy on in .
I would like to be in a position to post up some photos of decents large country houses , but i don’t have any to hand, and don’t have the time to find some. So get in your car and drive around to find out what a nice big rural house looks like
It may seem callous but it does not seem inappropriate to discuss his impact. The news will do it wall to wall all week and month. Every discussed CJ at work today.
It would be nice if we save some of the more cruel comments for tommorow or the next day. I can understand a certain decorum when someone dies unexpectly or in difficult circumstances. But when you spent your life in the spotlight and pass off in an entirely normal way , i don’t feel i should hold back in my analysis of such a person.
As a youngster , i cannot agree. It is a politicians job to improve things. The fact that he did some of these things does not in anyway make up for grabbing a grand of here there and everywhere. Most ministers have done some good things. That is not enough to earn praise.
Charvet shirts do not make you cultured , they make you bourgeois.
Ps : some ministers have somehow managed to only do bad things . These were the really talented ones 😀
