Hmmm…. I hate talking about this subject.. but
1. Nordies come down for a wee shindig

And the first post is:
Paul Clerkin: “Excellent news….” 😮
Whatever about the marches and and all that political stuff, it’s a complete farce and the government should never have allowed it in the first place. It’s not really for discussion in these forums though.
Aaaanyway, It’s a bit of a set back for the redev of the street. ALL the fencing has been removed and people are walking on the newly layed paving willy nilly. Looks as though much of the loose bricks have been hurled around the street, probably damaged and will need to be replaced. Also, didn’t they plant the trees in the central medium? Where are they now?! 😮

ok, I must say that’s an incredible piece of work.. I wonder if the exhibit has any lego tips and tricks…
Because the scaling looks awesome…
Is there any idea of the time frame in which that took?It took 1 person 5 months
God, that’s NASTY. The last pic Graham 😀 Headache or what?
I know I’m always going on about building height but this is far too bulky for that area. This is the first time I’ve seen this awful heap of crap and the first thing that came into my head was “abandoned council flats”
Here’s a photochop (if you don’t mind that I entertain myself, Graham :)) Something to look forward to…

Just to add, regarding such statues, one foot of the horse raised indicated that the rider was injured in battle, two feet raised indicated that the rider was killed in battle and four feet firmly on the ground indicated the rider died in his bed or natural causes.
Didn’t know that, thanks. 🙂
Anyone know where the pictures of the Tara Street redev are? All the old links in the other thread are broken 🙁
StephenC, I read somewhere that the work will be completed by next May.. certainly not for Paddy’s Day. They’re already well ahead of schedule, believe it or not.
Thanks for those Graham. It all looks very refreshing indeed. I’d happily eat me stew off that pavment.
What’s the building there with the fancy door surround in your second pic? The last time I saw it it was in a pitiful state. Won’t the owners be forced to clean it up as part of the rejuvination?
Plenty of videos at http://www.reflectingcity.com/video.html?a=2&t=6&p=40. Should be useful to you.

paul h,
Work has started at the Heuston gate site but whether construction has started on the actual tower is another thing.A lot of trucks entering it from the Heuston side.Works have started on the site to the west of Military Road. I understand that the current building works are the proposed eircom building. The rest of this site has been sold to a developer.
Heuston Gate [east side of Military Road, can not progress until alternate accommodation is aquired for the Revenue Commissioners, the Garda and the ERHA car park, who are all currently using the site.Press the Control key and scroll the wheel on your mouse (if you have one)
Or.. click on View>Text size in Internet Explorer.

Does anybody have a website address for Heuston Gate? I would be very interested in living in such a tower.
