    Also another wander about in the below video with Yvonne Wheelan along O’Connell Street and the wider city centre, discussing symbolism and identity, and the Abercrombie Plan and the Greater Dublin Reconstruction Movement.

    I am lucky enough to have a publisher’s file copy of that – fascinating reading.

    One of the other Summerhill sites should fail automatically as it is described as ‘Summerville’ (wherever that is) repeatedly in the planning application.

    Like the photographer who took those lovely pictures of a certain SF Euro candidate, whoever produced this leaflet is one to watch in the ‘make silk purse out of sow’s ear’ category.

    Given their locations, many of these are also nicely placed to block the view of oncoming buses for people at the bus stop, or of the people for the bus drivers.

    Cue many forays into traffic to check for bus numbers. They are only locals though, who do not drive, so who cares?

    I’m reminded of these things any time I see an old cartoon of people driving, where all there is in the background are large, repeated advertising slogans, flying past in a blur, a la ‘Fahrenheit 451’.

    How original – a middle class vs working class slant to the whole debate.

    You think the siting of these things is an accident?

    Why do you think the Howth road in its entirety was overlooked?
    A lovely road, ideal for bicycles I would have thought. Nice footpaths too.

    I will eat my hat if they site ‘bicycle stations’ in Sheriff Street and Summerhill.

    These things do nothing more than make an advertising trail for the car owning middle classes that rips its way through areas where people actually live.

    Also, there is something cynical about the locations chosen for these ads]

    The Howth Road is miraculously bypassed, as is Clontarf, except for the East Wall end.
    Now there’s a surprise.

    If it was civic education was the point of these, one would think Stephen’s Green might be an ideal location – no? I wonder why not – they are such things of beauty after all.

    No doubt the majority of them will be passed without objection, purely on grounds of numbers, but I for one will not shed any tears when the graffiti louts target them, as of course they will.

    Here are the planned locations for these monstrosities.

    Note how they are in areas of high rented and public housing – someone knew well how to play the planning numbers game, in terms of which communities would generate most objections – not ONE on the long leafy Howth Road? I wonder why not.:rolleyes:

    I just lodged a ‘comment’ on the application for some sort of double-sided visual ‘Metropole’ advertising structure nonsense in the middle of the path at Newcomen Bridge on the North Strand.

    How likely is it that an individual will have any effect?

    **edit** just got my official notification that they received my comment.
    The stated size of this thing (which they propose putting in the middle of a footpath that already is an ‘unofficial’ cyclepath) is 4.85 metres high and 3.48metres wide – are they having a laugh – really??? In the middle of a footpath??
