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

    very laudable it is-I note you say 16 Important buildings. Do you accept that there exist other buildings of limited architectural merit which should not be protected for merely surviving this long?

    “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.”

    again of merit, but I believe we are discussing An Taisce’s view of Development.

    “As for other development County and City plans are clear,

    Permissable Use

    Site density

    Plot Ratio

    Standard of design

    Protected Structure

    Not An Taisce’s system but the local Authorities and ABP

    If AT were so incorrect why are their objections listened to?”

    Not quite as clear cut as you might think & An Taisce’s views are not always treated as sacrosanct by Local Authorities & ABP

    “As for philistines it is not a word that AT would ever use”

    or consider to be the case?

    “Of course An Taisce will have an interpretation as will the applicant.”

    An Taisce are rarely so keen to awknowledge the validity of others opinions

    “However when applicants ignore the fact that a specific building is a protected structure it is they who are in contravention of the regulations.”

    I do not know enough about the specific application to comment but I believe that they viewed the building as not having sufficient merit.
    I do not know if an application to remove it’s protected structure classification was submitted. I think you might agree that when the various classes of listings transferred to protected structures some buildings of dubious importance were elevated to a ridiculous extent.

    “To make An Taisce redundant in the planning process do not apply to demolish protected structures.”

    That would be fine if an Taisce restricted their objections to protected structures; They seem to see themselves as the guardians of good planning in the face of the philistine advance & not just as another special interest pressure group.

    “Then they can concentrate on managing their property portfolio and educating the next generation”

    We really are not worthy

    Don’t you mean An Taisce’s interpretation of the planning acts.

    It is fair to say that they chip away at the stone, this is however normally quite minimal and normally all that is left are black marks from the wax which they rub on the surface to allow them slide along. Last year whilst studying this phenomenon I found one area where the skaters had actually attached protective metal to stop the wooden benches wearing down. Although they make noise I still think that they are a healthy addition to city life. The noises they make sound better than that of a truck or a car and I have not heard of any pedestrian being seriously injured by a skateboarder.

    nothing short of Vandalism
    they should be billed for repair/cleaning (or their parents)

    also the murray O’Laoire link mentioned earlier

    If you’re that interested check the planning desk at Dublin City Council. There was a planning application lodged a year or two ago which as far as I remember included the construction of a 2-3 block in the surface car park onto Poolbeg st.
