    So c’mon, out with the details. We promise we’ll keep it between us. And anyway, Cork could do with a good load of manure sailing gracefully by.

    Wow – Jurys was knocked down to be replaced by it’s modern day equivalent. Awful.

    Happily, I think that the picture of the new Jurys does the building an injustice. The bricks and mortar look considerably better than the photo which gives the edifice a very fragile and el cheapo look.

    I have read numerous planning recommendations, by planners lately where their comments (constructive in many cases) are ignored and the planning applications are granted. Yes we should be allowing as much development as possible and creating a development environment but we should not just grant everything without looking at redesign or modification where inappropriate. The council and city manager should realise that they are destroying the city and should at least take the advice of the paid professionals that we are all supposed to rely on.

    republic of cork, please give examples of the recommendations of planners which were ignored. The City Manager has attempted to drag the planners out of the 18th century. They haved kicked and screamed and want to stay as unambitious and as unexciting as possible. The planners sadly have no wish to help in the creation of an exciting vibrant city. The cats’ vomit at Victoria Cross – from the Victoria Mills to the excremental trident at the Kingsley – give no grounds for hope of imagination from our most illustrious planners.

    :confused: According to the Cork Economic Monitor, published by the Planning and Development Directorate, Cork City Council under section 3.5.11 &#8220]

    kite, many properties in Corkk have defective legal title – one or more past documents may be missing from the title, and as a result financing development of such a property can be difficult. There are a number of ways of perfecting title, most of which are as one would expect a right royal pain in the ass and designed to generate paperwork, hot air and little else. One good way is to have a property which you own (i.e have best title to) certified derelict by the City Manager. By so doing, he can effectively and in relatively short order, perfect a new title to the property in question. Such a property passes into the hands of the Council for the duration of the certification process. Then the City Manager hands it back to the owner.

    This process is not a process whereby the City council are selling off properties cheap to worthy(!!) buyers. The properties were not the property of the City in the first place.

    I’m not a legal guy, so if any of my statements are incorrect in fact, please correct.

    kite, as Frinailla are being taken to An Bord Pleanala they are shanghied for the duration anyway. They have little to lose, and a lot to gain, by attempting to get their abducted floor back.

    More power to them sez me, they put a nice plan together in Dennehys Cross.:)

    Lex, it’s great to see you around the house again.

    The problem with getting a stream of information is that when it is shut off, you feel deprived. Anyway, we’ll enjoy what ever info and comment you provide while you are available.

    Best wishes with whatever grand plans you may be hatching:)

    kite, I suspect that you do not walk the streets of Cork that often. Paranoia can be useful, but my experience shows it to be unwarranted in this city. 🙂
