Saturday.
The Clyde Court Hotel, formerly the Berkeley Court Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 getting demolished to make way for new apartments. To wit:
The site has planning permission for 190 apartments.
Thanks Luke brennan
Everything. As It Happens.
how many are set aside for social housing?
+section 5
All 189, with the exception being of course the penthouse which is being kept for your good self.
I thought it would be set aside for mr ronan and his weekend parties.
Can’t be having Dealz and Ladbrokes shops littering the area.
Or Nissan Almeras.
Affordable housing?
Why should I have to live beside freeloading ten-percenters? Surely if I’ve earned the money I get to enjoy surroundings unmolested by whistling Antoes with hands down pants?
Another load of identikit, low rise apartments with a great big footprint that will only be affordable for people on rather large salaries. Build higher, and use floor space better, build in strorage spaces, communal areas, ensure there’s good natural light and make sure there green in some way (eugh, storage heaters). build 2 floor apartments too, have green areas and amenities close by.
I –ukin’ hate “storage heaters”
Me too, just in case that was seen as a call to put storage heaters in everywhere.

Did you not watch that ex alcoholic with the beer belly on the Late Late Good Friday? It’s all about light and space now. Wall to wall glass views of the solar system. Location means organic health and jogging until you need a podiatrist or chiropractor. Or both. Private Insurance obviously.
It’s like when they got around the ‘communal’ space in the IFSC. Big open area that no one can use and tiny flats which cost a fortune to buy or rent. I’m not an architect btw.
the gentrification will continue but will the homelessness still be justly televised?
There is very little homelessness in this country compared to western EU states. By and large we have a very equal state
1500 children homeless – and you’re fine with that?
What is that big swinging demolition yoke?
No back gardens , you can keep them …
