i’m pleased this got planning permission but i’ll believe it when i see it. when it is fully completed and standing erect i’ll be happy. look at what happened to the southbank tower.
In the days of proper planning it would never have happened, but I’m here now

Good to hear 🙂
The monument restoration project began early this morning – the scaffolding is going up very rapidly around O’Connell Monument at the moment. The hoardings are also being made up on site.
Wish I’d been able to take a picture – all the winged Victories look most bizarre being caged in scaffolding: something of an uneasy look to them, not least with workmen scrambling about next to them 🙂One thing you don’t realise is just how tall this temporary structure is going to be – presumably it’s going to go right up to O’ Connell’s head which is four storeys above the street 😮
Down with that sort of thing, Victories needs freedom
Fergus I understand Your political rationale for a fortnight, but the town is a kip without political explanation for the other 50 weeks a year. I’d plan away from that if I had a chance.
Bundoran is the Amusement arcade capital of Ireland it is simply a rough spot with the wrong type of tourists, you just wouldn’t let your kids out there in the evenings. Ballyshannon for no one knows why has always just been a rough sort of a kip.
Sligo now theres a nice town or Donegal Town even.
Whatever you think about these houses and I have seen much more lavish old style houses there is a definite market for this type of house if there was no market no one would be building them. Personally I wouldn’t pay 600,000 euro plus for anything less than a shopping centre in Laois it is just too far from Dublin and traffic gets worse every year. What they don’t tell you in the ad is that Newlands Cross is worse than its ever been and please don’t get me started on the mad cow.
What is the problem with bungalows they hardly cause as much impact as highrise towers, I think bungalows are quaint and the gardens can be really nice. They also get people out of town centres where children can have problems with their rougher peers and I’ve heard this can be a problem in places like Bundoran and Ballyshannon. I know if I had a job there I wouldn’t want my family living in either town.
