If DCC architects want to design private developments, then join the private sector. Taking the piss with the SDZ.

What about that Crystal Ship restaurant dump? How is it still open? I had a takeaway from there my first night as an inhabitant of the area. Not only did they get my order wrong, they tried to tell me I was incorrect and when I eventually got the food it was horrible.

Would you believe I don’t think I’ve ever eaten there, pal in my near 6 years here. They always have an ad in the window for some sort of box which I assume means chips and rice and curry which is off-putting for me.

I’m hearing that the much maligned Cafe Bar H has come on a bit in recent months, pal with some reasonably priced beers having been introduced. Have you been lately? Agreed on the Mourne Seafood Bar btw-had 2 very tasty dishes down there in the last few months.

Had a bland pasta dish in there about a month ago on a random midweek evening. Can’t recall ever being in there before and haven’t been back. Definitely noticed a bigger crowd in there recently when I’ve been passing by though.

Great stuff, mate. Keep your eyes peeled for further intermittent updates.

Local Authority in granting planning subject to conditions shocker…

It would involve three towers 13 to 15 stories high creating enough office space for 2,300 workers and 42 apartments.
:rolleyes:
Another 2300 people who need to live in one of the most expensive places in Dublin with accommodation for about 100-genius. Fucking cunts.

Yeah. It’s not as if supply is much greater than demand in other areas of Dublin.

There are none so blind as those who won’t see. You were probably cheering along with the other yahoos when Bertie was telling us all to go and kill ourselves. You make me fucking sick, Mac.

Wanton stupidity and wilful ignorance really grind my gears, mate.

Great men died for this country in Bolands Mills. They must be turning in their graves to see cunts like @Horsebox[/USER] & [USER=9]@Bandage moving in there and squabbling over the shade of grey on the building and where you can get the best chocofrappochino in the vicinity.

On a serious note though mate, why do you think an area that’s already overrun with apartment complexes need any more? Its already well serviced by public transport and I don’t think it would cope with another thousand odd people living in it especially given the lack of schools and facilities for young children.

That’s a very common mistake right there. The Bolands Mills that were the scene of the heroics in 1916 and where the Sherwood Foresters were blasted back from whence they came is actually at the next bridge up. That Mill has been long since demolished and the site now houses the Treasury building the home of NAMA.

Hardly an issue for a lot of the people that live there to be fair, Mac. What do you mean by overrun with apartment complexes? What figures are you basing this on? There is a huge shortage of accommodation in the area for people who want to live there. The reasons why people want to live there and the lack of suitable accommodation for young families elsewhere would be a better line for you to take, pal.

I always wondered what they were doing in the mill that was relatively far away from the rest of their positions.
So the mount street bridge & bolands mill troop were essentially one and the same. Makes sense.

The development hasn’t been completed yet, mate.
