Since following these forums, I started in June 2004, I have been nothing but impressed by the standard and depth of the arguments posed.

As a developer based in Cork, the Look at the state of Cork thread has assisted my knowledge of the local market and its activity immensely and in no small part, focussed my company’s future projects design issues. Following on much of the advice, input and commentary made on the forum – my company has 3 projects in the wings that have sought to enhance the standards of architecture for the city and its environs.

I read the article in today’s Irish Examiner by Mr. English and am frankly appalled. Clearly Mr. English is unaware of the individuals who regularly use and contribute to the forum – the article has stained the good name of the thread and of the website and insulted those who positively contribute to its continuation. This is not an ‘expose’ – it is opportunism. I wish to lend my agreeance to the above contributor’s post.

My company intends to make a number of significant development announcements over the coming months in Cork city, county and one midlands project.

Traditionally our relationship with the press has been positive. Mr. English has done his paper and the persons of this city a dis-service. Indeed, let the culprits be responsible. But as commented by the above, their comments fade or are ignored – it does not represent the decency of other contributors.
