That’s so shoddy. I see what you mean though, at:

It is very effective when it works though isn’t it. A box of bulbs and 20 minutes would get it back to rights.
“corner of west road and sheriff street”?
Should that be corner of east road and sheriff st, or west road and ossary?
What happened to the lighting on Liberty Hall. A couple of years ago the lighting of the crown of the building was fixed up and it looked wonderful at night with the zig-zaggy crown floating over dublin. Recently (this winter) the lights seem to be left turned off of else only a few bits turned on. What’s happening?
I think there should be a little spire climbing robot commissioned for the cleaning job. Nice project for any mechanical eng students out there…
“architecture websites” don’t get much news coverage normally. Well done Paul I hope you ask him to give the URL next week….
The casino at Marino. A truely unique building and overlooked by too many – tourists and locals alike.
It’s a 3 story summer house (guest house?) cleverly fitted into what looks like a little greek templeSounds a great idea to me. But what would we do with the current Abbey Theatre and abbey st. They are part of the IAP too i think.
Thanks for the info zozimus. Looks like there’s potential for adding all kinds of tempory additions in the future with the power socket and all the eyelets.
Or you could plug in a polisher if you were up there…Just in time – well done (finally) ireland.com
Ian richie has been on the radio and answered my previous question about the aviation light. There has been a temporary light attached to the top of the spire. Within 2 weeks the internal light will be installed, wired up, and pullyed into place and the temporary light can go as the block light will serve.
I can’t make it for 10. No fair! Should be a national holiday. Anyway it was looking great at dawn this morning. The finish is brilliant.
Watching the guys polishing the section on the ground with what looked like brasso, I noticed there’s a round side vent about 10cm diameter which protrudes a couple of cms. It’s located near the green tempory collar. You can see the collar at

Any ideas what it’s for? I guess I won’t be able to see it again anyway but I’m curious.
Also, I’ve heard theres to be a red aviation light on the tip. How whould this be mounted?

You’re right about the Tai Chi – there were tv lights behind them and they looked like statues sillouetted on the street. Like the famine memorial gone wrong. Wish I had a camera with me.
For any expats out there – 2fm (ryan show) are doing live coverage which should be available streaming on web.
Dr Quirkeys is included in the CPO, Fingal Office bldg is not.
Don’t suppose you can post that picture here Graham?The announcement of the new hotel on Parnell street must be seen as a vote of confidence from Jurys at least.
Ah yes, the Carlton cinema. Remember this…?Bord Pleananla has just agreed that Carlton Group must sell the property on to Dublin City Council. This compulsory purchase (which had been stalled by the appeal) should kick start the redevelopment of this part of O’connell st.
Felt very windy down there this morning. Heard on the radio that it’s been postphoned to later in week.
