    did they actually get around to buying any land from farmers on the promise of this?

    Q: I am a part-time lecturer in architectural history at Loughborough. Recently I have noticed myself wobbling off-balance during discourses on proto-constructivism, and slurring my speech. Am I all right?

    A: You’re simply intoxicated with your own rhetoric. Try using fewer adverbs.

    does that not move us into ‘form without substance’, or appearance without reality though?

    I wish certain idiot politicians would stop using the term Spatial too, until they at least have it explained to them peoperly. (I believe gateway also started passing into the public mind after the National Spacial Strategy)

    They’re taking the piss – 40,000 jobs, 37 million visitors, for jaysus sake. To put this is some perspective: The Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is 100 acres and these guys say it will be 2000 acres.

    I mean, what will be in it? The Tallaght White Knuckle 56A Ride and the Raheny House of Horrors? Feckin ridiculous business. I’d be on the side of waging that the outcome will be that the developers in question will buy up all the land, then miraculously decide that the theme park is not economical, then they have all this nice rezoned farmland to put housing developments on. Plain as bloody day

    if there are i’m sure they will follow the Docklands Light Rail example – i.e. full of adverts with some syndicated news snippets at regular intervals

    i really think some underground flash mobbing would be fun.

    All we would need is several people to turn up in the city centre close to a tunnel site, with miners helmets and archiseek t-shirts, and then see hom many members of teh general public people we could tempt into a hole in the ground

    But then again, it’s a ridiculous idea. What would be great however, if there was an organised Underneath Dublin tour.

    fair play Paul, some great investigative journalism (or just good old hard work) on your part.

    didn’t go by until after midnight and the top lights did look good. definatley better than the masty red temp aviation light – not so sure about the light half way up though. seems too small in comparison with the lights at the tip
