Another Cork landmark destroyed.

The plans are ghastly.

i haven’t seen the plans but other than a bit of ventilation on the top floor what’s wrong with the place?

the part where keating’s “men of the south” hangs is a treacherous sweat spot.

 

[fed up]

Any DRAWINGS of the new plans for it?

 

[fed up]

No they went for planning without any

www.google.ie

Gallery....Drawings...doh.

As bad as your plans for two banks of five defending when a team are down to 10 men lol.

We have the worst f**king architects

We have the worst f**king architects

I don't think so. I think we have the worst public servants for choosing architectural design.

The big joke here is that nobody bats an eyelid at the prospect of a three-year closure. Such is the inept management and couldn't give a s***e attitude of the civil service and local government overseers that everyone totally accepts this as a realistic timeline for government projects. It's not that long ago since the gallery was shut for the construction of the extension. The same practices are evident everywhere there is civil service / local government involevement in construction.

• Four years to re-pave MacCurtain Street - and no cleaning plan in place when it was finished
• Natural history museum in Dublin shut for pretty much a decade for repeated works
• Now entering the eighth consecutive year of barricades and works on the Monkstown line
• €330k and two-year delay in building a a bike shed

etc.

The only certainty is that it won't be open by this time 2027. These contractors work and deliver on time and on budget when they are supervised appropriately.

Do forget 350 vacant council own properties in the middle of a housing crisis.
Public servants in this country are the most useless, inept, ignorant, workshy shower that I ever had the misfortune to come across. They wouldn't be allowed make tea in the private sector.
