No, but I saw the sign on the island outside the Bleeding Horse in action the other morning. You could kind of ignore it in the daytime when it was just a static image, but it’s now illuminated and has a vertically scrolling ad. I’m sure I’m not the only person who found it really distracting.
Wait til it’s a TV-type screen.
Slightly OT, but would anyone have a picture of the original 16 Henrietta Street? Saw it being requested on another forum.

I’m trying to find out more about the convent on that same street as I’ve noticed recently that has that little planning sign on it, like a mark of death I’m afraid! I would really like to know more about this – I would like to get inside it before its knocked down or turned inside out or whatever the developers have in store for it! could you maybe point me in the right direction? I am an artist who is very interested in urban planning, spatial relations and power relations, as well as the bureaucratic language of planning and development. Thanks! 🙂
I believe the convent site is to be part of a new civic centre incorporating a theatre, a civic information centre and other community spaces.
From what I can gather there will also be apartments on the site and the convent building will form one of the blocks.The Newcomen Bridge one was refused permission, the Summerhill one ‘a decision has been made but notification has not yet been sent out’.

One result is in! I’ve just heard that the pole on North Strand near the blind shop has been refused.
I’m off to check the rest.
EDIT: No new details on the ABP site yet. (I heard about the North Strand one from one of the appellants.)
Hmmm I’ve heard nothing about my appeals – perhaps that does not bode well for the one on Newcomen Bridge and the other on Summerhill.
Still, even one of these things stopped is a good result.No, still nothing here.
I emailed first thing this morning and have had no response.
I just tried to telephone but keep getting a recorded announcement on all numbers.**edit** Managed to get through by phone – decision put back again to February 7th.
Anyone any news on how this decision went?
I have heard nothing from ABP and had no response to an email asking what way the decisions on my two appeals went.
You’d think for a cost of over two hundred euro each for the appeals they could send an email/make a phone call to let the appellant know what happened.This whole thing has been dragging on for ages.
**edit**
And on it goes again – new date for decision is January 30th, 2008 – we’ll see.My original letters advising me of the dates of the oral appeals said there would be a decision by December 12th.
Is that likely?Unfortunately, I ended up in Beaumont (the hospital, not the area, I’m sure the area is most pleasant) earlier this week and was unable to attend the hearings. Anyone that did, did you get any sense of the likelihood that any of the appeals might be successful?
When do they release the decision?Yes, got notice today of the change in dates.
I might be able to make the Tuesday one and will certainly be able to make Thursday, but Wednesday will be out for me.I teach many of the tracksuit wearing fraternity, admittedly at a young age (teens) but even they can see the mess O’Connell Street is in, comparatively speaking.
As one girl said to me when we were returning from a trip to the museum and walking along Nassau street (hardly the epitome of Dublin’s elegance) ‘Miss, I wish our town looked like this’. I thought it was one of the saddest things I’d ever heard a kid say. Even she had already decided that ‘her town’ was cheapo Spar/Centra/Londis, broken down pound shops/phone shops and general crap. Just wait til she sees the ‘icing on the cake’ that is the JC Decaux metropole.
If you surround people with ugliness and ugly buildings and pepper the streets with ugly signage and ugly ‘civic information sites’, it can come as no surprise if they act and behave in ugly ways.
It doesn’t give any specific time other than the start times each day.
222953 and 223085 are my appeals.
I could make it for the afternoon of Friday, but I suspect that would be too late.I’ve OCRed the agenda I got – details below:
AN BORD PLEANALA
ORAL HEARING
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS
1 Presentation by the Developer
2 Submission by the Planning Authority.
3 Third Party Submissions (See ‘Advisory Note’ below)
4 Questions
5 Observer Submissions.
6 Concluding Remarks.
Advisory Note.
The Board directed that a Joint Oral Hearing be held on the twenty-five appeal cases. The third party submissions will be heard simultaneously for each of the groups of appeals set out below first.
• 223095, 223096, 223112 and 223117
• 223025, 223027, 223032, 223038 and 223143
• 223103 and 223104
• 223147 and 223214
• 223 101 and 223127
• 222953 and 223085
The third party submissions will then heard on an individual basis, for each of the
appeal cases below.
223040, 223043, 223084, 223121, 223127, 223148, 22315 and 223268,
The Hearing will be held in the Conference Room at the Board’s offices on Thursday,
20th Friday, 21s’ and Monday 24th September, 2007 commencing at 10. 00 am on the first day and at 9.00 am on the following days.
Got notice today that they are now on Thursday 20th at 10am, Friday 21st at 9am and Monday 24th at 9am.
They are being heard in groups.
My two appear to be being heard together.
If I cannot get off work to attend (which it is unlikely I will be able to) do my appeals still get heard?
Can others present for other appeals comment on mine?
I did not request an oral hearing and am happy to let mine stand in writing, but will it weaken my case if I do not attend?I haven’t heard yet of a change of dates.
I don’t understand what half the junk they sent me was – all this stuff about ‘way finding systems’ and how contracts are awarded by DCC.
Got two packs of stuff pertaining to my appeals in the post today.
They seem to be copies of all submissions, appeals and responses to appeals in relation to each structure I objected to.Anyone here in the know (and against the structures:rolleyes: ) who would like to attend the oral hearing on my behalf? I doubt I can get out of classes though I work just across the road from ABP’s offices. Unless it is only for an hour or so – if it starts at ten daily, does it go on all day?

I got letters about it today:
A joint oral hearing in respect of the twenty five appeal cases against the decision to grant permission to J.C. Decaux for outdoor advertising signs.
Date: Tuesday 18th September, 2007
Wednesday 19th September, 2007
Thursday 20th September, 2007
(If necessary Friday 21st September, 2007)Time: 10.00am
Place: Conference Room, An Bord Pleanála, 64 Marlborough Street, Dublin 1
I’m not sure I will be able to attend personally, as work may be an issue. I think I can nominate someone to appear on my behalf.
