This morning.
No. 40 Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
The home of 1916 rising leader Michael Joseph O’Rahilly, known as The O’Rahilly, and site of a proposed apartment development.
Despite numerous complaints from local residents, heritage groups, and the Department of Culture and Heritage, Dublin City Council has advised An Bord Pleanala to grant permission for the demolition to go ahead.

On a similar theme, I can’t recommend this highly enough….

Nice one B. I’ll be checking that out next time I get a quiet minute, which admittedly is a rare thing now.
If you need me to take little Albert up to the park and out of your hair, just whistle.
You’re always so good to me.
Even after I broke your heart in such a callous fashion.
A minor speedbump on our journey Mills. x

To be seen as any way patriotic today is classed as a far right thing. So the objections will be weak.
It’s not really though is it?
Looks like ”local residents, heritage groups, and the Department of Culture and Heritage” didn’t give a flying fupp about it until they heard it would be demolished, a bit late to be claiming it’s importance now.
They just don’t want the apartments built there, very little to do with the very privileged megalomaniac who called himself ‘The O’Rahilly’
NIMBYISM same as the crowd up in St.Anne’s Park
Bingo. Nobody had heard about this fella untill recently. Now he’s the Lord come down off the cross.
Ah, I’d have thought anyone who got an Irish Secondary school education has heard of the O’Rahilly?
He was useful because he had a car at the time. That’s about it.
I wasn’t claiming that he was useful, just that we was well known… like an olden days Rylan Clark.
Homes for people is patriotism. NIMBYism is not.
