There are some shots of the An Post Sorting site in todays Irish Examiner… Hmmm… only one angle from the south link??? I’d be curious to see it from the Qy side.
Was there not some article recently in a Sunday Supplement with the shots taken around Aran Islands with bright red shawls on the country lasses.
Don’t think it had any of Dublin in the article though.
Haha! I was waiting for it to pop up!!!
Crawford extension is v.interesting (excuse quality – compressed for web smallness)
try the route planner on http://www.dto.ie – although alot of places will have modern names
The CCC should have held firm and backed up Beth Gali’s original proposal to move Fr Mat Statue from it’s current location and put a new monument there. There a many suitable locations for the statue elsewhere.
Using Statue of Liberty and Cork in the same sentence has to be taking the piss. I know these developers are only trying to hype their proposal, but…
Was supposed to be totally relocated at intersection of various primary national routes behind City Hall, thus leaving that prime city centre site free for redevelopment. Instead the station stays where is but with cheapo canopies lobbed on – surely no architect was involved?!?
The Carrigaline project has “Second Rate Clayton Love Bland” stamped all over it. Interesting to see “only” 900 car spaces for what is (according to CSO) the most car dependent community in Ireland.
The Carroll’s Qy dev doesn’t look too bad at all. That area badly needs something interesting.
Haha – Dick Roche goes into environment and Cullen into transport.
Predictions: Metro killed stone dead. Motorway building programme accelerated. Heritage lobby groups eradicated.
On a simlar note from the Examiner today:
**Greens reiterate call for integration of LUAS tram lines :: latest
The Green Party has reiterated its call for the two LUAS tram lines in Dublin to be linked.
Party spokesman Ciaran Cuffe said the €100m cost of linking the two lines would be a small price to pay for an integrated tram system.
“I don’t think it’s too late and I think it would give fantastic benefits to a lot of people,” he said.
Mr Cuffe was speaking following the official opening of the Red Line between Tallaght and Connolly Station this morning.**
Eh – correct me if I’m wrong – but aren’t these two lines built to a different standard, thus integration near impossible?
Oh purleese! Did you just drop in that little trojan “knock Liberty Hall” hoping noone would notice…?!?
One project at a time Graham!!! Loop Line Bridge first.
(maybe if you could knock Liberty Hall when all those naysayers from SIPTU are inside…?)
