      You can still find them in Dublin (the Sweny one is Lincoln Place I believe). Still some in Dolphin’s Barn, Harold’s Cross and some other suburban areas. But you’re right, they are few and far between.

      that Syron’s one caught my eye, looks like external mosaic work…which seems to be a dead/dying art in this country at least…there might even be some of that Terrazzo flooring inside that sometimes you see in old hospitals, libraries and schools…another dying method
