“But for all that, I think we’ve been very unfair to the only independent environmental watchdog we’ve known. I certainly don’t think An Taisce was enormously successful, and looking at the state of the Lough Derg shoreline today, I’m inclined to think they failed miserably, but the thing is, they tried. They were probably too altruistic altogether for their own good and for the earthy ambitions of the nation. “
who the fuck is this talking this shit…!!!!! the only thing wrong with lough derg’s shore line is it was sold to foreigners years ago underneath the natives. there is a lot of bord na mona peat in lough derg… i know this cos i swam in it a few years ago and all the bottom is peat… nothing wrong with the shore line at all..there is a lot wrong within the lake. but the shannon thing that was introduced last year…this was jackeen bollox at it’s finest from a jack taoiseach…. what the hell is the story!!!! nobody can sell land beside the shannon??????? wha the fuck use is it then? it again is people with over inflated opunions of them selves talking absolute and utter shit.
saying an taisce have a bad rep….. of course they do!!! unless u have money to shut them up… i think the article mentioned is trying to protray an taisce as the victim when in actual fact they victimise everyone in this country to there bullshit…sorry disapora but i had a celebration when an taisce didn’t get funding this year because it means that everyone outside the pale doesn’t have to be subjected to the shit talk ye d4’ers spout to save the “countryside”. what bollox i shout from every roof top. if you came to ireland( i don’t consider the pale to be ireland) outside from every bank holiday then you may know different. it is the reason that every t.d. is scared shitless.ouch is right…jeez blue. go easy. we are here to help and further the growth of knowledge of architecture through discussion but if a student needs a wee bit of help starting off then why shouldn’t he/she ask people who are in the profession for help. i would call that Initiative rather than laziness.
now, amir! u can start with acoustics and work from there. and please don’t have it a box like here and in britain..well the new ones anyway. horrible k******n wall paneled box (i read a previous thread and amn’t going to name products):D sorry paul only taking the piss 😉 …. but they are horrible, functional but shite. their is a lovely one being built in galway now designed by douglas wallace. i will source a pic tomorrow.unfortunately quite true though alan. i know several who do. it’s a disgrace what they do but little old me can’t change the system…
yea. i can understand that . i have seen that done before. it just is that the space is needed for more dead. it’s a shame they are not preserved but it’s church property and of course their may have to be permission from the families. which just thinking there may bring up a point. are they family plots? cos if they are then the family have removed them to replace with their own stones…
and yea graham i would presume that they would protect the larger tombs/crypts.
it would be nice to preserve the headstones but that costs money and who is going to pay for it!i know that u can’t touch a graveyard, development wise, for 600 years… don’t know about headstones…maybe if they just moved them to the side. i have seen that before…don’t know about removed though
why belfast? why on earth during our presidentancy would we go to a foreign country to celebrate this?
it’s a bloody disgrace. what sort of complete idiot would not think of this!!!!!disaster…..yeah! that’s a toughie… traditioinal is basically bungalows now… and he/she could have picked it from one of those terrible publications…plan-a-home etc….i’ll look into it 4 u…and get back probably on monday
tower cranes are good though. it means that at least it’s developing. i must say i like cork. i found the whole driving experience down there quite strange but still. same here. lets hope that as city of culture it gets to do some nice public buildings like that music one.
there is a lot of shit to be honest alan. for good stuff then maybe the better parts of galway. ie barna. i know of a few but don’t know names or anything like that. friend of mine has designed a very nice one at the moment. don’t know if it’s getting built but he drew it out for me one evening while making sure the guinness in a local establishment was fit for human consumption. his concept and general treatment of the spaces was very good. well i thought anyway so can’t wait for it to be built. other than that west coast of mayo, there are a few houses springing up there that are interesting. don’t know if u call them traditional. one actually by the county architect i think.
