Oh no, everything’s going to be Trumpified for the next few years….
This is the Marie Antoinette style of austerity.
“We can’t afford bricks!”
“Then build it from gold dahling.”
Bling.
What recession.
What colour would you like Emma?
Pink
Always believe in your soul
You’ve got the power to know
You’re indestructible
Always believe in, that you are
Gold! (gold)
Glad that you’re bound to return
There’s something I could have learned
You’re indestructible, always believe in…
why do eurozone countries even need separate,”central banks”.
For, inter alia, financial regulation.
Only three Irish banks are regulated by the ECB. The rest – and credit unions – are regulated domestically.
oh….
“Historically the Central Bank of Ireland (“the Central Bank”) has had overall responsibility for the authorisation and supervision of credit institutions operating in Ireland. From 4 November 2014 this has changed with a number of supervisory responsibilities and decision making powers moving to the European Central Bank (ECB) through the establishment of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). `
The ECB is responsible for all core supervisory responsibilities as defined in the Council Regulation (EU) No. 1024/2013 (SSMR). For Significant Institutions, consisting of the larger institutions operating within Ireland, a Joint Supervisory Team (JST), led by the ECB and consisting of both ECB and Central Bank supervisors will directly supervise these firms. A full list of significant institutions is available…”

Tacky. As. Fupp.
+200billion
All buildings should be boring concrete boxes to house the drones between 9 and 5:30.
Let’s make Dublin grey.
Tacky as Foooook!
What is this? A Persian Kings brothel?
It’s actually a green feature, apparently. Anyone who works in a glass building will know how hot they get in the summer, within 5 minutes of the air con going off at 6 the place is roasting – well the gold is meant to repel glare of the sunshine and combat that. There was an article about how this would be the greenest building in Ireland in the Times a few weeks back, was interesting and made me wish I was an architect
Does it have the facility for focusing the sunbeams like in a magnifying glass so if they bankers are bored on hot days they can make people walking past explode into flames and blame it on spontaneous combustion? Asking for a friend,
yeah but it’s a secret
What sunshine?
Hey, look, say what you will, but at least someone’s planning for climate change.
That was actually a misprint in the Times article. It was supposed to read “the goldest building in Ireland”.

I like it!
Or you could put in windows that open…
Just sayin.
The Irish :Too much makeup. Too much bling .Bad dressers. Their bad taste also extends to architecture. C’est tawdry
Ha ha! Zee trolling iz delicioux!
Should have left the unfinished building there as a warning from history. Ozmondias.
Quite sure the choice of materials was entirely architectural
as opposed to optics, impressing their bosses in Frankfurt or having wet dreams of G8 associate membership (visions of Bertie in yellow pants, shudder)
It’s like a faded postcard photo from oil rich Kazakhstan in 1996..
Is this a nickname competition? – I propose “The Elizabeth Duke box”
They just cant help themselves can they!
Its like a giant Ferrero Rochet wrapper
They all partying.
Gold?
Standard.
I like it.
