Pink denotes where homosexuals like to ‘hang out’
Trinity College? Those pink buildings on Dame street are Trinity admin buildings also
The ones up near st stepehens green are RCSI and the ones on the North side are DIT Bolton Street nowadays.
The gays and their propaganda machines! bomb em! hail Putin!
As well as Trinity the old Houses of Parliament/Bank of Ireland College Green and the Four Courts are in pink, so possibly places of historical interest? Although obviously there are many more such places in Dublin, so not clear what these three buildings have in common.
Trinity pinkos!
They’re going to remove the intelligentsia first. Trinners, the four courts and the rcsi.
You could hide in Leinster House, that’s just brown like the rest of the houses.
Looks like they were light years ahead and had plans to extend the LUAS all over the gaf!
Dublin dis have an extensive tram network in the first half of the twentieth century. The lines were ripped up in the name of progress.
I have this map at home somewhere – enormous 2 metre long version. I’ll check the key again when I get home from this awful, awful day at work.
As far as I remember there were two colours used – one to mark strategically useful areas in case of a military invasion (seriously). I don’t remember the other (maybe historical/cultural)
When exactly did you get that map?
Sleeper?
Sleeper? Is this code?
I got it in Latvia a few years ago
Pink denotes government and administrative buildings. Light blue denotes military and communications installations. Both of these would be considered high priority targets for a takeover, with military and comms obviously being primary.
