We now know where those printing plates from the French Central Bank went when they disapeared from Charles De Gaulle’s freight hall under suspicious circumstances.
We don’t do the 11 plus in Ireland so you are right it is a gap in my CV, University and professional association are enough, but its the many years of experience of sorting out gobshites that my clients pay me for; those that can’t measure thats worth loads; those that don’t understand the bigger picture, kerching…….
Well I didn’t see much future
When I left the Christian brothers school
So i waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
Sometimes when I’m reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they’ll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again.(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreamsWell the ould fella left me to shannon
Was the last time I traveled that road
And as we turned left at claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I traveled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different
If I ever decide to go back.(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreamsNow as I tumble down highways
Or on filthy overcrowded trains
There’s no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
Behind all those muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and the turns on the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Yes I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreamsNot go and troll some other website

Do you have to be told every little detail PVC …. find out for yourself.
To interchange at Pearse You will have to go through two ticket barriers.
Where are the plans that display this?
No rail system does that because it creates un-neccessary maintenance overhead down the line.
Stop taking wild guesses because if you can’t add mathematics are embarrasing.
The interchange is 200m; the exit from Sandwith street is neglible; the egress from Dart is unchanged. time for beddie byebyes
Sorry to say but what sounds like a reasonable idea has been contaminated by JC Deceaux’s involvement;a guessing man would hazard a prediction that the metropoles given will be those blind spots where the angle accentuates the angle to traffic on one side of the road usually a prominent corner i.e. Aungier St opposite DIT; leaving an almost blind angle on the reverse face; just to be clear the promotion will be on the almost blind spot as it is JC Deceaux giving away something with no value….
Shame on DCC for getting screwed over in a barter transaction that stinks; I would have otherwise participated.
You obviously don’t work in anything related to built environment if you can’t read the plans.
The station moves from 1 entrance to 3 seperate entrances on
1. Westland Row (existing) – no reason for anyone to use this unless they are exiting for TCD
2. Pearse Street (new)
3. Sandwith Street (new)Each will have automatic barriers and ticket machines which will suit everyone except those who just go to mither the station tellers with their problems. run along it must be past your bed time…..
You have posted exactly the same drawing again of the Sandwith Street portal with no alterations other than a temporary road closure of one of Pearse Streets feeder rat runs. You should be banned for spamming
Historic property rates applied to the subject properties you are looking at which could be cross referenced to the ad’s in the newspapers may also give you some scope on adjusting values in the newspapers to give a firmer guide along the lines of Property A sold for £1,000 in 1935 and had a rateable value of £20, therefore property B with a Rateable value of £30 may have been worth c£1,500; Thoms Directory lists all rateable values and copies are held at the national library. Broad brushstroke but may give some guidance.
The N17 of Sawdoctor fame was actually Kilburn High Road at rush hour in practice; if you remember the pretext of the song was a ‘wish that I was on that N17’. A commuter town of c3,000 people can not justify a motorway in post Lenihan Bros Ireland.
So after the Tuam motorway is built what is actually going to pay for 4 tracking? The Central Bank of Ireland is not the Fed it can’t print money when it feels like it. In any event you have not come up with any technical basis as to why playing around with the timetable will prevent 3 min headways; the Northern line in London runs 90 second headways as do the Jubilee and Central lines at peak.
Then post the correct drawing if you assert the CIE drawing is out of date. For the record I am more likely to attack purile repetition than spelling, we are all busy people. 200m is a completely acceptable distance for an interchange; I note the absence of anyone agreeing with your assertion that the drawing is out of date or that the distance is an issue. It seems CIE have got this station spot on.
As the country moves from the ripping itself apart in the media phase to the time to rebuild under a new administration phase; money will be tight and and only must have projects built; I more than anyone would love to see the exchequer position swapping places with the Singapore Finance ministry (not that they would ever end up with any fiscal deficit beyond a single year) but that is not going to happen any time soon.
3 minute headways with Darts speeded up and outer commuters slowed down would be a very very dramatic improvement on current services which are auwful. Blind confidence in the future is inviting a very bad end and being seen to plan for new projects at this time would be just that, the bond hawks certainly have not gone away; careful and meticulous planning has the potential to deliver progress; Dublin Underground is the key piece of investment in the Irish transport system as the economy returns to better times through carefully targeted investments. Straining the public finances to fund new projects or Metro North will send out all the wrong signals from an economy that needs to be seen as beyond perfect for at least the next 5 years.
I am however confident better times are ahead once a stable government emerges who have the will to get it right; no more Tuam motorways……
From a site assembly point of view the best solution for the station was chosen; a single plot in a single ownership; from a personal safety point of view in terms of natural light and proximity to the Archers Garage office complex the location is spot on in that it gets free private sector security input. I salute the site selection as perfect on the part of the project team.
You question my prose style, I have been consistent the distance is 200m from the existing platform it is interchanging with; well within International norms for interchanges. You should also salute the perfect site selection and wishes of CIE to keep Pearse Station operating normally during the construction phase.
I think you will find electrificiation to Maynooth is on the cards within or a couple of years after the interconnector completes. Electrification to Maynooth won’t be too far behind nor will electrification to Balbriggan and staggering station calls between Connolly/Spencer Dock and Howth Junction something along the lines of
Dart
IC
Clontarf Rd
Killester
Raheny
Howth JunctionNorthern Line
Connolly
Clontarf Rd
Harmonstown
Kilbarrick
Howth JunctionWould speed up Dart, slow down Northern Commuter and allow passengers from Dart and Northern Commuter to interchange at Clontarf Road to whichever routing they wanted.
Finally you admit that Pearse DU is as proposed in order to suit CIE.
You need insert the words existing passengers to the end of your sentance; it is designed in a manner to keep the existing station open.
the proposed Merrion DU entrance has been cancelled from the RO
Never a runner the IGS would have gone nuts; and rightly so.
I am not the only one (understatement) who thinks CIE are building the loo at the bottom of the garden.
It would appear you are
So you support the service then?
In employment density and retail intensity terms Stephens Green is the centre of the City; distances may for the pruposes of maps be measured from the GPO but that reflects historic and out of date development patterns as against where people travel to most.
Have you any idea of the engineering challenges of building a new underground station and keeping an existing station open for service?
The Sandwith street site is a good choice for the following reasons
1. The existing station is pretty much fully developed given the new DU faculty and earlier Wintergarden flat complex.
2. Much of the passenger traffic using Pearse are office workers who commute to places like Fitzwilliam Sq, Lower Mount St and Baggot St who will have a shorter walk than at present.
3. The site exists in a single plot to create a decent entrance reducing CPO costs.Just get the following into your head; the average person walks at 4 miles or 6,400m per hour; the walk on this interchange will be 200m or less than 2 mins; users of the Northern line DART service will have a better choice of stations than at present. This project is necessary and will happen…..
