The latest best thing on the web
You need to download the application first, but once you’ve done that you can smoothly zoom from space right down to house level. The level of detail is really good (think mapflow / myhome etc) but because the app uses caching you have really smooth pan and zoom functionality. For the wole world.
More detail on the northside of dublin than the southside. Which is nice for a change! Check out Marino for some find town planning, Marvel at just how big the docklands really are, Chuckle as you notice that you can’t see Galway because of a rain cloud!To really give your broadband a hammering (and make yourself jealous) look at the amount of data available in the US. Try zooming around Manhattan with the 3d building models turned on.
Enjoy 😀The strategy of delaying things in the courts is the right one in this case. That way there is a good chance of a different government coming to power and preserving the valley.
Seems to me he alleges that specific people are guilty of robbing – That is a charge that I cant imaging being upheld in any court of law…
Either way that statement leaves Mr Cullen open to being sued for defamation. Although he dosn’t mention individual names of the alleged robbers, he doesn’t need to
” If just one person gives credible evidence that he recognised the complainant by the description or image, that is enough to ground a defamation action.”

…even here at Archiseek, there is a huge thread a mile and a half long, describing everything on O’ Connell Street, but not one single mutter about the mistakes made with Parnell Street. It is a great achievement to have made so much discussion on a single street, but therein lies most of the problems we face here in Dublin too, with regard to the design of our city.
If we were to devote as much time to discussing Parnell Street we’d all end up depressed. Ever since the dual carraige way was knocked through there, there has been nothing built of interest. Suppose we could argue about which mistake was the biggest ! 😉
:rolleyes: Or you could just call yourself an architect, print some nice business cards, put up a plaque on the door and start working – skip all that studying nonsense
Are these declarations available in the public domain.If so do you know where thay can be found?
(I guess this is a question for ctesiphon..!)We don’t have grades here as far as I know. They do in UK though, you ofen hear refernce to grade 1 listed, blah blah.
In Dublin the way it works is a building is protected if it is on the protected structures list, (aka Record of protected structures). Or on the draft list.
If there is a limit to the protection it is stated in the description – for example “facade only”.
That’s it as far as I can tell.You’ll get most of the info on the applications at the City councils planning search website.
Easiest way to see an overview of what relates to the overall development of the ILAC is to put
Firmount Limited
into the Location/Proposal Search: field on this page(Other searchs will swamp youwith minor chjages of use and a undividual shop changes use…)
They havn’t started putting up the scanned plans (drawings) yet though. Be good when they do.
It is a lovely little gem alright. It’d be a bit lost without the trees though. Hope they’re still there. It’ll be great to see smoke coming from the wonderfully symetrical chimney stacks in the winter. I know it’s probably due to the angle that the pics are taken but isn’t it lovely to see the lawn come right to the front of the house, rather than a drive and car-park.
Delighted to hear it all ended well.@Graham Hickey wrote:
The saga comes to an end, and a happy one.
It turns out the house has since been listed on the county dev plan and is now officially a ‘Protected Structure’.
An application has also been lodged to refurbish the building with minor alterations to the rear, to begin in a few weeks.I have a print of the house only my scanner is broken. I’ll post it one day, not that its of great interest or anything but anyway, alls well that ends well.
Thanks everyone who helped.
A thread from the past ! (while looking for info on listing trees…)
I was just wondering how the refurbishment went on this building?
Graham?Well due to you all (and others in the real world :p ) I’ve had my eyes open online and elsewhere for a copy of Destruction of Dublin. Finally found a bargina dn recieved it recently – have just started it but it is very very good. Thanks for the recommendation.
I bought through Abebooks
They have a couple of other copies at the moment. (Expensive ones though.)Of course Dublin Public Libraries also have lots of copies available.
Though if they hadn’t replaced the roof that blew away the rain might have maintained some kind of balance.. 😀
S&P‘s Aquatic Center made it back to the headlines today. the pool is leaking at a rate of five million litres of water a month. seems a lot by any standards.
Maybe now it can be knocked and a national aquatic center built somewhere you can get to.That’s a great image alright. Thanks for posting it – I went looking a while ago and couldn’t find a copy at all…
Has anyone ever come accross a (n even) higher res vesion by the way?I really like clicking the location button on http://www.lomancusack.com/ !
Good work.How about posting some pics of the building – this being an architecture site and all..
