i just got an email today from dun laoghaire/rathdown co co and was told that info regarding this project should be in todays irish times, page 7. no decision has been made yet i was told. surprise surprise.
i hear rumours that another landmark building might be going up near the port! it is planned for dun laoghaire yes but is this info right though? it looks like this is another planned building for the area which will be separate to the ones mentioned above. apparently there will be a competition for it just like the u2 tower but i’m not 100% sure. comments?
i too would love to see the baths restored but some how i don’t think this will happen now. it would have been a great idea to reopen them to the public and i must say that i would have been one of the first to use them. outdoor pools are great on a nice day. however i just think that if they must develop the site, i would prefer the tower block option myself. i am not saying this as a high rise fan. i just think it does look the better of the two proposals. anyway it doesn’t look too tall.
mmmmm,
the results should be in tomorrow/today. i can’t wait to see which one they go for. i hope they discuss the winner on tomorrow’s/today’s news. by the way i am the type of person that looks at the news on a regular basis, yet i find it very hard to get info on these sort of projects. does anyone know where i should be looking? the net always has old news so where does one go to find out the latest up to date news on buildings, high rise development?… i’d appreciate any info. thanks
Cheers

while guinness does have some really old buildings that are very important/historical and so on, it does have some ugly ones too.
there is an email address on the An Taisce website. i had a look the other day and i have already made a complaint. would anyone like to join me? i mean email them with a complaint just like i did. if enough people compalin it might do some good. it’s worth a try. otherwise we will see this box hotel go up instead. i want the high rise option for a number of reasons, plus it is the better of the two. that area doesn’t need another flat hotel.
i heard on the six o clock news today that this plan is back in motion. it’s a choice between the blanch site or the docklands area. i think blanch would be a better option as it could then be beside the new water park. i don’t think it’s a definite but at least they are considering it again. i hope this is of some help to you mate.
that hotel in dubai looks very like the new building they have in london. very different yes but being different can be a good thing.
i saw those plans for the MOL design. to be honest i don’t know what to think. it does look like it will be an improvement yes but i wonder what the end result will be like? does anyone know has the refurbishment started yet? i was in that area of the city about 3 weeks ago and saw nothing. i don’t know whether they should level it or not as i have no opinion to give but i do know that something needs to be done with it. it is in a terrible state at the moment and can easily be seen from various locations around the city.
i think the tower block option would be the better of the two. i have a feeling that it won’t go through though. what is the problem with a tower block? another flat hotel in that area would be ridiculous. a tall building like the one being proposed would be a great landmark building and i don’t understand why so may people are objecting. sure people have a right to object to a project but objecting to every propasal due to it’s height is ridiculous in this day and age.
i enjoyed it too and i must say well done to all involved. it’s a great thing for ireland to host such a great and LARGE event. the opening was just fantastic. i hope the rest goes well. lots of stars too. excellent.
i am always on the look out for info regarding large projects in the city/county. i know that hawkins is due to be done up shortly but any idea when? i hear it has started but i could be wrong. i just find it very hard to get this info on the net or in the papers and that is why i am asking you people in this site. information can be so hard to get at times. does anyone know where exactly i can find this info? thank you.
cheers.
i like those pictures too mate. any work to expand the 3 main airports in ireland is a great move as passenger numbers in to and out of ireland are growing every year. i see/hear that there are plans for new buildings at shannon and dublin also.
ah yes. i also look at how the city is and i have to say it is a nice looking city. i love the view from ameins street for example. ok i know some parts of it are run down but it’s the same in some other countries and i guess it can’t be helped. i love how the city skyline looks from most parts but i also understand that cities do need to change. however the city is changing with lots of plans and so on. i understand this from what i hear and see. i hope that in a few years the docklands will be developed and that it will be something different for all of us. i can’t remember the last time i was in the dockland area. it does seem so empty and that is why i think this is the perfect area to build a new part to the city. it could be a high-rise area yes with the current areas in the lower part left low. that way we could have our old dublin and our new dublin. just a thought.
