Can someone explain what is this horrible newly erected wall supposed to be doing in place of a footpath/cycling lane on the quays (City Quays, Dublin)?
It’s a permanent flood protection system – will be clad in granite or brick I think. There will be gates/gaps etc in it, that in event of flooding will be sealed. Similar to whats on the Dodder.
Options were to build a wall along quays or else move it back and preserve most of the Campshires (which is what they did)
Global warming, rising sea levels etc.

My instinct here was to construct an inane comment that reflected Ireland’s response to the refugee crisis… but I have seen that terrible image from Turkey so far this this morning. I can’t focus on my work, or anything, I just want to go home and see our kid.
Is there a Shocked People march being planned that one can go to?
One that isn’t being organised by the rowdies?

“Knob” The most ironic of insults. Those who use it are almost always knobs themselves.

The true irony being that I now have to call you a KNOB too !

The image that the worlds media didn’t have the dignity not to publish, some media folk got so excited to publish that image for all the sales and clicks it would bring. Men, women and children have died escaping their countries, this child isn’t the first and won’t be the last. But don’t get suckered in by the media’s claims publishing the image was to highlight the issue cause it was all about them making money, nout else.

Looks delightful, can’t wait until it turns a murky concrete grey. Another fantastic job by DCC.

Did you lodge an objection during the planning stage?

I checked DCC planning permission map, it looks like there is no planning permission for this…

Council doesn’t need planning permission for its own works usually. Also if it’s a flood defence it might be exempt in some other way, possibly.
Mr. T.
I’m guessing this is not the final wall but a temporary structure on which cladding will be placed?

It’s an outrage wall and it’s doing a damn fine job.

Is roger waters bringing his tired stage show back to the o23 ?
Because there are works going on…
It’s to stop midget Mexican migrants.
Dwarf Donald Trump demanded it.
It’s a flood defence wall.
Cos sea levels do be risin’.
I’ve found the project so you don’t have to Daniel ; http://irishcycle.com/2015/03/14/cycle-path-upgrade-on-dublin-docklands-south-quays-to-start-in-april/
Thanks… so it looks like the wall is there to stay…?

I think it’s terrible…
You do realise its not finished? The one along the Dodder looked the same until they clad it.
I do. It looks terrible on the rendering, too…
It’s a quite small area, and with the wall feels very enclosed.
I’d imagine it’s temporary. Don’t worry.
Looks like it’s not: http://irishcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/drawings-vs-artist-impression.jpg
