From today’s Irish Times:
The spokeswoman said that the council had not identified the hoaxers, but if they had been caught they could have faced charges for defacing public property: “It’s quite serious. It has damaged the bridge.”

Heritage group calls for repeal of monuments Act
Tim O’BrienIrish Times
Thursday, May 17, 2007Leading academics and archaeologists yesterday launched the Heritage
Protection Alliance, to campaign for repeal of the National Monuments
Act 2004.The alliance identified 16 sites island-wide, including three in the
Taoiseach’s constituency, which it says are inadequately protected. It
claims the 2004 Act provides for the destruction rather than
preservation of such sites.Included in the list is the home of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, which
the alliance pointed out was referred to by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in
his address at Westminster on Tuesday.Commenting on the number of Irishmen who had links with Westminster, Mr
Ahern said: “Not the least of those Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who
served in this House, was born in Dorset Street in my constituency and
is now buried nearby in Poets Corner at Westminster Abbey.” Brinsley
Sheridan’s birthplace is currently the subject of an application for
demolition.The past ten years have seen an unprecedented number of sites being
subjected to unnecessary destruction, according to the alliance which
includes Prof Donnchadh Ó Corráin, Dr David Edwards, Dr Muireann NÃ
Bhrolcháin, Dr Pádraig Lenihan, Rev Brian Kennaway and Senator David
Norris.They concluded “that Irish archaeology and protection given to heritage
is in crisis”.In a statement, the new alliance said: “During the past 10 years over
10,000 sites of archaeological potential have been investigated in the
Republic of Ireland under licence to the Department of the Environment
and Heritage. Approximately 70 per cent of these sites have tested
‘archaeologically positive’, a phenomenal number by any standards. To
put this number in perspective, it should be recalled that in 1989 a
mere 101 sites were excavated.”@Sue wrote:

Rory W, I have NOT denied that Tara was the seat of high kings, or whatever. I have said this should not be a millstone around Meath’s neck in perpetuity. There is no problem with building a motorway 2km from the Hill of Tara once proper procedures are being followed, and proper precautions have been taken. They have been…
is newgrange and the battlle of the boyne heritage sites a millstone around meaths (or droghedas ) neck? located right next to drogheda as tara is to navan.
ps anybody got any visual of the heritage centre of BoftB or planning maps of the to be protected site of the battle.

And leave Burger King alone! 🙂 With its elegant steel windows and balcony reinserted, and a more muted facade treatment, it could make for an attractive addition to the entrance to the street.
again I wonder if DCC has an active anti-sit ( your supposed to be shopping
citizenconsumer) policy?GrahamH wrote:How interesting. Which book is this lostexpectation – his most recent The Changing Landscapes of Dublin?It’s hard to believe all the same that the basements extended that far out (being considerably wider than Henrietta Street and much more modest originally), and not just horizontally but length-ways too, given the bollards up to recently were sited beyond the building line of O’Connell Street, essentially in Parnell Street. Would rumours of a tunnel from the Rotunda have anything to do with it?
Clearly they were venting something]to store drink of course

They’ve also been positioned further apart than they used to be.
Of course the central question remains: what they heck are they?! Well as far as can be made out, they were simply part of a ‘suite’ of furniture introduced to the street roughly around the 1870s. Not only was this design used in protecting William Smith O’Brien at the entrance to D’Olier Street…

huh I thought you’d discussed this before when you put those pics up before, I just read in Pat Liddy’s book that there were vents for the basements that extended all the way out to the middle of the road.
You can see the holes in the old pic. I wonder whats left of those basements?

The wrapping came off Irish Permanent yesterday. All clean again. White windows as predicted. New floodlighting that is far too bright…it looks so out of place along side more subtle lighting such as GPO and Central Bar. And of course they hung on to their signage. What a shame. Here was the perfect chance for DCC to get to grips with the big illuminated signage along the street. Im disappointed.
Also…even though it planting season there is no sign of those 10 missing trees from OConnell Street. Or the kiosks.
what ya reckon of the huge signing placed inside the building like on the bank next door?
seems very cool, what use to be in that large arch?

The journalist did it the right way to be honest, she went to the architect to address criticisms raised.
pity the architect didn’t answer them
The main idea, he says, was to create a public space and the building came second, as a screen against an exposed party wall and to hide chimneys.
HAH!
I occasionaly used balconytv to watch the building go up, I looked to see what it looks at night, but I don’t great a great view cos of some women nice singing :P, I’ll ask them for a better view…
I think he should get the people of the waskai company to do his visuals, they are awful and not helping the project. Those skyscrapers are totally overblown even comapred to the real life examples of helsinki and the new highriselowirse docklands today http://www.newheartfordublin.ie/downloads/liffey_river_boat.jpg
