“The properties relate to sixteen important buildings and habitats, they charge no admission to these sites they are free to the people of Ireland.”

so an taisce would only object to 16 projects?

“The education is a partenership with local authorites and local businesses to educate children to recylcle and carry out tidying up in their own areas.”

your the tidy towns in disguise!!!!!!

“Any objections that is submitted must first be OK’d by people that know what they are doing. “

what! local professionials who see the need for regeneration of the local enviorns or desk jockies in dublin

“As for philistines it is not a word that AT would ever use,”
they might never use but do they believe it!

“unrealistic expectations for a particular site to carry that quantum of development would be closer to contemporary An Taisce “

unrealistic expectations..who decides this! you? how can an taisce determine what is unrealistic.

who did?
and that’s a fair point that u are just a consultant and i’m not getting at u personally but at the organisation.

ahhh! capitalism is great isn’t it. this is what we encourage as it develop’s our country.there is nothing wrong with it as long as it’s done according to the rules. when the rules change halfway so that it can’t happen ie change a building so it’s listed then we have got to ask the question of why is this happening. to deny a person this liberty because of some unknown reason other than it was built a long time ago is th only thing that is ridiculous.

ok ur talking about bolivia. yes all that did happen so what is an taisce at objecting to developments in the country where it brings economical devestation to an area when people are forced to move elsewhere. it may not be the same but the similiarity is striking.

i have never heard of him nor do i care to be honest.

“I just fail to see how tearing down Historic Buildings progresses anything. This was a development proposal not an essential infrastructural project.”
how about the progress of that particular area developing it so as to improve it’s locality. sligo in in dire need of it. and was it not the politicions who decided not the planners? and i am quite sure from intense lobbying from ur organisition. as it’s not the planners which decide the listing of buildings.

now i was comparing an taisce to the conquistors. where exactly did i contradict myself 4 times as u seemed a wee bit vague.

[a little like the conquistadors I believe the lure of oro [/B][/QUOTE]

if u are comparing an taisce to the conquistadors i must applaude u. yes they are very similiar. they went, they savaged all around them and then left leaving the natives of the country in a worse state.
ur policy of lets protect everything is absurd. and using the most flimsy of evidence and arguments u win because of sympathies within decision making bodies. these bloody old buildings should be in a museum. if u have to protect every thing then how are we going to progress as a nation. we are viewed and a small minded, backword and catholic nation and an taisce are not helping with the rest of us breaking our balls trying to change that.

it was sarcasm rather than a joke.
judging by the support given to leinster last weekend i would say that most of the supporters are from the rest of ireland.
this should be judged on it’s merit as a stadium rather than the piss up before and after the match. does it meet the sandards for a world class stadium. will it bring the revenue. can it host a major final..ie uefa cup or even champions league as lets be honest if we build a stadium why not build one that can attract such an event. i agree that it’s a wonderful time every time i go to lansdowne but to be narrow minded enough to dismiss another location just because it doesn’t have the same pubs along the way…well need i say more. and there is no need to insult the countries other cities…dublin is not the only city…i agree about kilkenny though…great place for a piss up and pulling burds but a city!!! and i’m sure if it was in another city it would be full each time.

abbotstown is out of the city centre is it not?

an architectural student. ha,ha. jesus. this is a great country. ha,ha… if it wasn’t so serious i would fall about the place laughing. how can they justify that? what has the council to say about that?

i disagree. they object to whatever the feel like and for some unknown reason they are consulted as it’s my belief that they aren’t a government body.

ha,ha..i didn’t notice that before but to be honest my previous comments stand. sorry if i insult you but it’s my honest feelings on what ur organisation is doing to this country.
