Love an old building, but Iām at the point where if they can conserve the exterior facade or front or whatever, drive on.
Thereās fellas doing great work taking moulds of things like cornicing and they can reproduce it perfectly. The guy my aunt used was in Murroe, conservation fella called in while she was doing work on a house. Ceiling with cornice needed to come down, told her to get the moulding of it. She was seething but it does look well now.
Whatās all this?
Sure as long as it comes into use.
Heard Laurel Hill is building a new school down on dock road where the Hockey pitch is. Presume thereāll be a section for Colaiste as well. Capacity for 1500 between the two schools.
Laurel hill are building alright, but where are these playing pitches and where is the house youāre talking about?
So youāre saying if we had measures and funds in place long ago that enforced but also helped financially to keep such buildings up to date then weād be in a great place in our towns and city centres?
Think they are going to knock the old school (shame) and put the hockey pitches there. Thereās actually a section of it that was a convent that is now vacant and I wonder might they come in for that as well.
The house is the big one on Laurel Hill Avenue off SCR. Itās stunning. Thereās the site next to it as well but itās narrow and very dear. You could just take down the extension at the back and put a fence/wall around it, youād have a grand yard behind and a fine garden and off-street parking in front. Thereās 2 other smaller old houses up down there so the area is scratchy but the potential is massive. Lane can be a bit dodgy at night as well but thatās why youāve the wall!
I think convent and school will be knocked and youāll be looking out at hockey pitch and Clements off to the right.
@gilgamboa and @glasagusban arenāt interested in sustainability mate. They just want something that looks good on paper ā¦long term planning is irrelevant. Shur we can tear these places down again and put up another short term project thst fails to deliver
Absolutely. Urban sprawl isnt for everyone. It would cost too much for investers or potential home owners to bring these places up to spec, so the only options are to either build new outside of towns, or subsidise or change regulations to help revitalise town centres. As a complete culchie, i can still recognise the importance of keeping town centres alive.
Urban planning is shit and lack of urban planning is shit.
Weāve got to tread carefully in town at the minute. Medieval Part, Georgian Part and the river are the three things we have going for us.
Iāve heard talk that the are going to level Moyross and use the new train heading out that way for freight. Could they get those people into town in nice apartments and maybe the school as well?
There was plans to level dāisland a few years ago and make it into a nice little port for the rich - of big houses and a quay for their boats
The Mohican fella is most typical of the TFK style headbanger,
It does seem weighted in favour of Wokies?
When does the Hardy buck fella come in, heās not in the first two
I saw a clip of this and that Limerick wan OāBrien was on it getting all uppity ā¦ she has an extremely annoying demeanor thatās typical of the wet knicker brigade. Extremely sanctimonious
I thought these areas were referred to as quarters in Limerick. At the end of 2024 there were about 11 recognised quarters and now youāre bringing in another sub- setā¦ā¦
Heās in next episode. The one @Kyle was on about got very cross with mohican man at one stage. She does have an annoying style but was probably right on that.
Iām sure sheās grand but her demeanour when she gets on one is very annoying from a few clips Iāve seen over the years. She gets very shouty and sanctimonious
Sheād fit in well around here
Weāve reached the quota in that department. Position filled.
Right wing headbanger feeling threatened by opinionated woman shocker.
