There was talk a few years ago of turning the closed Carlton Cinema on O Connell’s Street into a big shopping centre. Nothing seems to have been done. Is this still going ahead?
Are there any plans for renovating the building? It has the potential to be a really nice building. All it needs is the right renovation, and it could be an architectural highlight of Dublin, in my opinion.What I’d like to see done is, for them to make a new entrance, get rid, of the box, where the marquee was, and put some windows in the upper stories, rather than the boards with terrible looking blue dissolve on it. The big CARLTON letters should be kept.
I go to Stephen’s Green all the time, and I never even knew they were building that, since the buses now go the other way around. Looks nice from the photos. I’ll have to go check it out.
As a beer fan, I can honestly say that the Porterhouses are among the best pubs in Dublin, so lets not have any more Porterhouse Bashing. This is an architecture forum.
I think the ugliest building in Dublin is probably Oisin House on Pearse St.

And I know a lot of people here hate it, but I personally really like O Connell Bridge house.
