You need to lose the chip on your shoulder I think. I never mentioned Dublin for the record.
No chip on my shoulder… I lived in Dublin long enough to know what a crap city it is… a glorified city with an awful quality of life – full of arrogant toss pots like you.

Thanks for the pics. Excellent. In the context of Cork being built on a small scale this must look very big indeed. I think its a very good project and at least there is some ambition in it. Like I say it depends on the facade though as to how it will really look. Personally id prefer to see a glass facade.
Rather than the unambitious endless nameless that passes in Dublin.

“Fast on it enough” ?
Its literally flyimg up !
They have commenced the curtain walling and the other blocks are coming up at the base.
It started after Cornmarket St. shopping centre and probably be finished before it !
I wouldn’t even reply to Darkman, he’s obviously here to try and annoy us… as he lives in the city that even rivals Tokyo for population and level of cultural attainment, oh no I just checked, he only lives in that shithole up the road where our government is based.

Mr. tfarmer obviously doesn’t know how to use a spell-checker.

Hmm. I thought the road to Macroom is only to be Wide single carriageway.
Would make sense though to dual it all the way to Macroom, to cover potentialy traffic due to housing development etc ?
ANyone know the extra cost of dualling compared to single carriageway ?
surely it would be more advantageous to build a proper rail line to Killarney that passes throug Macroom that would reduce rather than increase the traffic.
You build a dual carriageway to Macroom and you will increase the number of successsul planning permisison grants for very large inappropriate housing schemes.

…..and they can use the improved commuter facilities and new stations on mainline rail. Why waste money duplicating…?
I forgot they had plans for railway stations at kilbarry, monard and blarney.
No need to go Northside (apart from Kent) because the main development corridor there is on the rail line, which will connect, or East for the same reason. Also, North is where the real hills are in Cork, which would make life very expensive. The Depot could be out somewhere near Carrig too, saving land in the city.
I disagree with you… there should be a line that goes out the Mallow Road towads Blackpool and continues to Blarney… this is a major development zone with planning for in excess of 3,000 units to be built.
Blarney is also a major tourist area in the soon to be suburbs of our city.
There is a huge amount of commuter traffic also coming from North Cork which could be diverted to a park and ride in the Blarney area.
this schizophrenic superiority/inferiority complex?
seems like you are the one suffering from schizophrenia as you can’t decide whether we suffer from an inferiority or superiority complex.
I’ll help you decide:
Question: Did you hear about the Cork man with the inferiority complex?
Answer: He thought he was the same as everyone else.@daniel_7 wrote:
just wondering does anyone know whats happening with a few stalled developments?
grand parade hotel site
mannix corner
kino cinema
patricks quay
capitol cinema
caragaline town centre and
douglas redevelopment?and water street/academy street (not stalled I know, but I’m keen to know when these get moving)?
Just when I was starting to enjoy the forum again, back comes idiot boy from Limerick with his invented population stats.

At the opening of the new docklands station in Dublin this week Bertie looked very uncomfortable sitting next to our Governmental Dolt as Mr.Cullen tried to take credit for this latest infrastructural triumph.
I am amazed that the people of Cork are not up in arms over his latest trick ?
I’m amazed that this line doesn’t stop at connolly… who exactly is it supposed to serve?
Amazing how quickly Cullen signs off orders for the capital.

this is the situation for planning in Ireland and not just Cork.

Hi Kite – 2 images attached: one is of the arena itself. From what I understand it was to be ‘theatrical layout’, as in stage at one end, banked seating running back from it, with ability to clear all of ground floor to leave 100,000 sq ft+ of exhibition space. Capacity would have been up to 10,000 seated, but initial installation was proposed at 6,500.
The other image shows one of the many rough site layouts done. Main arena is on the left, the MAS arena is Munster Agricultural Society and would be a 2,000+ ‘Green Glens’-type set-up. Combining both would have allowed a lot of options for various events/exhibitions/etc.
Who proposed these plans, was it Howard Holdings?
How come Gavin is so committed to Horgan’s quay, surely the proposed water street bridge would make the marina very accessible from the train station?Bertie has made the Docklands a national project status. Quick straw poll – Does anyone think it will make a difference?
A good question would be how does this national project status for the docklands affect Minister Martin’s ‘dream’ for developing Cork Harbour?
Anybody agree that this new status has quite a bit to do with the facts that the natives are getting very annoyed with the lack of impetus and funding coming from our central government?Paul Clerkin wrote:Takes Dublin to sort Cork out doesn’t it ]Wouldn’t Dublin be better off sorting Dublin out… and since when did the National Government come to represent Dublin!
Dublin is an embarrassment as a capital city.
MPH trying to pull a fast one… they’d probably get away with such a submission in Dublin… well done the city planner… this site really needs to bring something to the city!
Any one know when does Water Street go into construction?
