it is, the idea, it seems, is to make it easier for the press to take photograph, the sun will be in peoples faces this way.
of course the parade is going the other way this year, starting at the top of o’connell street and then continuing to patricks, couldn’t large floats assemble on eden quay and slot in as the parade progresses.
iisn’t it amazing how cambells have brought the same cack-handedness to this as they brought to running the cafe in the first place, a ton a bad publicity, everyone on their backs over their plans for westmoreland street and grafton st going to stay a cafe after all. idiots.
I was sad about this, I walk by it alot on there was originally a planning application to save the ground floor facade, then nothing happened and then there was an application for apartments over retail and it was demolished. I was mostly suprised that more effort wasn’t made to collect a bigger lot.
look, this is a scientific question, do people reoffend more often if they are in prison near their family or not. it is easy to think of arguements each way, maintaining a relationship with your children versus being saved from the context in which you originally offended etc, so, really it comes down to statistics and there must be some.
and i should say right now, no, beckett sitting on a bench on dun laoirghe pier would not be suitable.
Now Beckett needs something, a stutue of beckett himself seems inappropriate, but, during the centenary next year i hope something is done beyond the plaque on dun laoirghe pier.
collins and devalera are another matter, devalera is such difficult figure and as for collins, i was going to write that the best way to commerate collins would be to name collins barracks after him, but then i realised we already have. i suppose we put a picture of his mistress on our notes for 70 years and isn’t that spike in the leinster house car park a collins memorial?
btw do any of you have sean russel’s head?
yeah, i noticed the tree last night and was suprised, however. stephen c, do you know if the student residenence building planned for the wedge beside luce hall will follow the existing building line or come out to the edge of the trinity lands, as marked by the bollards?
Its to allow for the building of a new NanoTech Centre and Sport Hall by TCD. Its the usual deal where you are allowed to borrow the pavement if you are building to the very edge of your site.
The Chas F Ryan sign was pulled down during the tragic fatal accident on the street during the week; a window cleaner fell and grabbed at the sign in a effort to break his fall.
anyway it isn’t true, there is that nice bronze cucullain and those wierd naive painting in the gpo and the garden of remberance on parnell square, oh and they are preserving the house on moore street the rebels fled to.
well i guess the idea is you go there by tram, choose and pay and have it delivered.
does anyone know where the other three designated areas in Dublin are?
so the fish are fabuluous but i was sorry to see that they seem to be removing the big wooden pillars along where the warehouses used to be near spencer docks, they were kind of magnificant and very evokative of the maritime past, espessially when the comorants, or are the shags, perch on them.
