Rory, Greg why do you have to stoop to throw religion/charity into it? my point had absolutely nothing to do with suggesting any handing out of money to ‘do good’ mentality, of course art of art’s sake is not a waste of money! I personally can not see how this monument will add something wonderful to our city, and I just don’t understand how it will “get our capital city in order”? I am not being ignorant to the views of others who are enthusiastic about this project, I accept that it is subjective and everyone will have their own opinion, shouting about how wonderful it will be however will not help to encourage those who feel otherwise. Maybe I’m jealous of you, I would love to feel excited by something that celebrates the millennium for Dublin.
Am I the only one who is really dissapointed at the go ahead of the millennium spike? I personally feel all the rants about it being wonderful technology transfer and about time is crazy. To me it seems unadventurous, uninspiring and a complete waste of money. To mark the millennium, the corporation would be so better suited investing their money into something that might actually make a difference (however small) to everyday life. I understand that the money was to be used for Dublin but what if the money had been divided between all counties, given out as a competition to schools to design a piece of art for their county, the making of which would be funded. This would allow people to feel included, like they where contributing to celebrating the millennium.
I know this has been gone over many times, but the more I hear of it, the more annoyed I get.
