The “Dubliners” exhibition in the National Photographic Archives on Meetinghouse Square / Rory Gallagher Corner is worth seeing too.
Its going to look brilliant, and am really looking forward to using it again… it always made me smile crossing it…. because of the slope, people couldnt barge across it and it seemed more civilised than the other bridges….
excuse me if i’m talking rubbish… just in seasonly good humour

Dominic Stevens Architectshave you managed to track down the original architects? their firms files may be owned by another firm now and it may be possible to get drawings from their successors…
Absolutely… really looking forward to having the regular updates and variety of information that Shane’s columns will bring to the site. We’ll be introducing a search engine specifically for that area of the site for accurate results.
The scaffolding is coming off at the moment… was in town and you can now see the nice view of the Custom House from the Millienium Bridge again…..
the view from our other site P45.net reprinted on archeire….

I have them but “Circulation of these results is restricted to entrants and members of the AAI until the exhibition in March 2002. All press coverage of the AAI Awards 2002 will be held back until then.”
checking now to see if i can publish them here
I think I would have peferred the old line of the street to be reinstated so you glimpse the side of City Hall and the AIB instead of seeing their full side. Afterall they were designed to be glimpsed rather than be fully exposed.
