Ouch!
Apart from consistently writing about the city for as long as I’ve been interested in it (i.e. nearly twenty years); just because you disagree with someone, don’t turn it into an ad hominem argument – that’s the lowest form of personal attack.i have nothing against him, i just don’t think he makes the decisions, thus can’t take the blame the op has put upon him.

Participantif someone suggested now to build buildings back along that line in front of st audeons they’d be accused of blocking the view of the church… !
i don’t know why anybody would want to build something new there its so stuck on its own, its not near any other shops.
it such a wide road to cross, how about a lightweight X shaped pedestrian bridge that meets in the middle to act as viewing platform for medieval city.

It is indeed lostexpectation – or at least one estimate as to what the revenue is worth… Still no declaration as to what the contract contains – despite it having been agreed 2 years ago… Is it any wonder why people think it is all well dodgy?
i don’t think that fair representation of the deal, thers has to more to it then that.

Participantooh big barny on liveline helped along with mannix flynn, it was good he brought in the visual pollution angle but i don’t know how helpeful it was to madsl and co?
richard got his bit at the start though saying its was dangerous
doolan defended the scheme to the hilt
somebody must have pulled his choke chaindoolan said they weren’t allowed to see the contract till the other councils had negotiated with jcdeaux.
some labour guy came on saying he was happy to see the overall amount of advertising being reduced.
they both claimed that hadn’t seen the photos or the signs themselves which makes you wonder what they were discussing the other day at the council.
the video recording of the council meeting is now up
http://www.dublincity.public-i.tv/site/#pp16545at the emergency motions voting at the end
the council had a right go at the city manager but he said
no motion can interfere with the contract.
