   …that wall on the left is just crying out for a ‘was it for this’.

   All the old derelict shops on Dolphin’s Barn demolished in last few days.
   Are we, gulp, about to see the return of breakfast roll man?

      I’ve obviously not being paying attention around the place, where were those buildings?

         The old public loos at Dolphin’s Barn, at the little green there and the row of single story shops that have been closed for years that are opposite Tesco /Camile / flats.

   Saw them throwing poor Maser’s work into that stink-pit. But hopefully means something is actually being done there. Also nice to see the work in Dolphin’s Barn :)

      I hope local skilled workers are being employed, rather than Northerners who will down tools to go and sign on once a week, as in some previous operations in this blackspot unemployment area.

   That hole in the ground is far nicer to look at than that piece of lovely free art that a popular artist made.

      Except like you now which means you validated and invalidated your statement with one fowl swoop.
      Cluck.

   It’s the death of sentences we lament.

   At LAST! All this BS about a shortage of housing in Dublin when it’s just a case of land grabbing and not building on it to drive up prices- take a walk around D8 and D1 and you will see no end of empty lots that would be prime sites for apartments. How the one pictured laid empty for so long is a mystery.

      Never understood that myself. Some places have bee derelict for decades.

         A few people control most of the land around Dublin. It’s in their interest to drip tiny lots onto the market to keep prices inflated.

   What’s the problem? Sure you can get a sign with mawkish exhortations to consciously perform your humanity in the home furnishings section of any good retailer.

   Looks savage. Wouldn’t mind a night in there. Dead posh like.
