    Have you tried contacting the Irish Architectural Archive – http://www.archeire.com/iaa/ – they may have something or know if the designs actually still exist.

    Well for me it’s as much the principle as the design: the building was listed therefore it should be safe.

    IMHO the importance of the Archer’s Garage case is the fact that the lisiting stood for nothing. Where does the buck stop? At which building do we make a stand? Christchurch? Busaras? George’s Street Markets? Leinster House?

    For the record, I always fancied the building as offices…..

    By saying that he will rebuild, he’s hoping to avoid prosecution and resigning from Bord Failte….. we just have to keep up the pressure….. we need more people to send feedback to the corpo and Bord Failte…..

    It seems that Mr O’Callaghan is on the Board of Bord Failte…. I reckon his hotels should be picketed…… he also is a large donor to Fianna Fail…. so what odds no prosecution

    I could set up an online form that would send an email to the City Manager and cc it to O’Callaghan Hotels to allow people to voice their opinions…… what do you think?
