    I’d like to concur with some of the other posters. It is starting to look hideous. I was expecting the windows to be like a sheet without window frames (I know I’m not putting it correctly) but instead it looks like the framed windows on the County Hall. Not good. And as for the cladding – yuck !

    Actually I found it !

    “Mr. Gavin is Cork City Manager at a time when a number of major infrastructure, transport, environmental and cultural developments are underway as Cork prepares to become the European City of Culture in 2005. He was previously Galway City Manager (1994-2000) and has held a variety of posts with local authorities in Sligo, Mayo, Kildare, Galway and Cork.”

    So unless he applies for the 3 year extension, his time may be nigh ! 🙂

    Does anyone know how much longer Emperor Gavin will remain as City Manager ? I understand that it is usually 7 years plus a possible 3 years extension, but I can’t remember when he started.

    I notice in theblimps earlier post that their concert hall had sloping seats from the stage upwards. What exactly are we standing on? Some kind of terraced thing? Surely thats dangerous at a rock concert. What the Howard Holdings proposal has is a layout very like the Marquee, with seating only at the further reaches and a large floor for standing on.

    If you noticed even further, you would see that the seats marked 2, are temporary and could thus be removed. Presumably the structure underneath could be removed also, to leave a standing only section.
