    gasp shock. Woman employed by NRA says we should build a motorway!!! is this the best you can do? It’s further away therefore it’s grand. It’s like demolishing a bungalow and buiding Liberty Hall 20 yards further from the public road.

    Is that not the AI request? I read it that the items numbered in parentheses were the RFI items and the rest were today’s decision, which is now here

    The ramp was wholly and utterly beyond ridiculous, so I hope I’m right 🙂

    “The following requirements of the Roads Department shall be strictly complied with during the course of this development. i) The access and egress to the car park shall be off Abbey Street. Full details of the revised access arrangements shall be agreed in writing with the Roads and Traffic Department.”

    Hurray!!! Now some tool will appeal it and the Bord will grant but forget to condition this!!!! hah hah, what are the chances…

    also “iii) The new pedestrian streets shall be public rights of way and taken in charge by the City Council.” So i presume they can’t and owon’t be locked off at night

    d’oh!!!

    i sometimes get confused with my “superhighways” and my “connections speeds” …
    it was a good one though.

    anyway back to the M3. Booooo!!! or to quote sidewinder on politics.ie

    “It’s time for direct action methinks. The FF scumbags have absolutely no shred of honour, conscience, basic human decency. Tey are parasites sucking our nation dry. They must be stopped.

    Appeals to reason, culture, heritage, the nation simply will not work. All these soul-less evil treacherous men care about is their own pockets.

    Attack the building site. Smash the equipment. Batter the scum willing to work on the site. Ostracise them in wider society. If you know someone on your street is working on the M3, tell everyone and have people throw rotten eggs at them every time they leave the house.

    Scum, scum, scum, scum. Anyone involved in the M3 basically deserves to be put against a wall, and would be in nearly any other country on Earth. Fight back, relentlessly, without mercy. This cancer needs to be ripped out of Irish society – while there still is such a thing as Irish society!”

    I believe I won the Oscar traynor Cup aged 10 or 11 in the North Dublin League. I thought it was named after the road, unaware of the man himself. Well at that age!

    oh good jesus sue, do you really think an elevated highway would have less impact on the landscape? The word “molest” was used because words such as destroy, vandalise, adversely impact, ruin etc etc have been overused. Nothing wrong with a bit of linguistic variety.

    I can’t believe a supposedly mature adult who seems to have an interest in these issues could seriously come out with the statement that stilits would “lift the motorway above Irish heritage”. That’s enough to have you committed.

    eh do we all realise that the construction of the Metro will run concurrently with LUAS Line BX? The north east corner of the Green will simply be a construction site for 3 or 4 years.

    it’s simple. We have a west-east connection on the northside already. It’s overground. The interconnector is the Southside equivalent. Look at the map of Transport 21. we will have 2 distinct DART lines as I described above. There won’t be public consultation on the i/c for years yet. I don’t see the issue here at all.

    the interconnector is at an extremely early stage, and the reopening of Broadstone may be regarded as a political tactic to render it unnecessary. there are no route options at this stage. however as Metro North proceeds they will have to design in the interconnector from the outset

    The main justification for the line is to provide 2 continuous DART lines through the city centre. Balbriggan to Kildare, and Maynooth to Greystones. The current north south alignment will be severed in the city, and cross cty journeys that you do in one today will require interchange underT21

    where did you get that firhouse plan from? that’s news to me….is it just the Tallaght line from the DTO plan?

    in reply to: St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin #739846

    this metro line will only be extended south along the current LUAS line B. That was in the DTO strategy and dropped from T21. The Tallaght Metro is out altogether. Too difficult and too expensive, as it would be entirely underground. The DTO strategy had it because their assessment thought it necessary, but Cullen knew better.

    Much of the Green will be surrounded by hoardings and dug up. I presume LUAS will continue normal service. The EIS will tell all details. Any idea when this might be submitted?

    There’s also potential for this entire junciton (Grafton, north green, west and king street) to be pedestrianised and unite the green with grafton street, as the LUAS will probably render it useless to cars. Could be pretty good i reckon. A pedestrian dominated space from Leeson street to parnell square anyone?

    it’s my understanding that the majority of the north west quadrant would be closed and dug up. In this case i think expediency (short sharp shock theory) and the need for a quality interchange outweigh the harshness of tghe measures required. Maybe it will open people’s eyes to Merrion, Fitz and Iveagh Gardens as well? Now if only there was some sort of similar place for people in Dublin 6… oh wait…
