Oh.
Kiely’s pub in Donnybrook in Dublin 4 will make way for a seven-storey, 100-bed space shared accommodation living scheme, if plans lodged with Dublin City Council go ahead.

“shared accommodation living scheme” = rubbish
“shared accommodation living scheme” = Tenement dives!
FFFGGP just love these nuevo tenement buildings, excellent for spreading Covid-19 and what ever new diseases come along.
wow, I could be living the dream there
The Council should give permission with 2 major changes:
1) it should be regular apartments, not this shared BS.
2) the building should be pushed back 2 metres from the road to allow for road/ bus/ cycle lane widening at this pinch point.
The reason for that shared living sh*te is that it’s the only new development that doesn’t need a 10% social housing allocation to the council.
It’s easier to manage tenancies and stuff when a company owns the whole building, that’s the appeal for BTLs
That’s a very good point about the road widening in that location
I’m not sure Kiely’s alone would do it though would it, you need to come all the way around the bend to the barbers and maybe beyond? It’s a hairy corner though, not really fit for the 4 lanes as marked out now.
I see from the artist’s impression this encompasses the barbers, ignore me!
+1 Agree 100% re road widening. Either in a car or on a bike, one really needs to be focused when navigating this exact spot. Two cars and a bike just don’t fit. Barber’s is the problem though.
I’ve heard that the developer decided against apartments overhead as premium priced apartments must invariably come with a parking space and there is no hope of that for this site for obvious reasons. A sad situation but the culture is still – those who will pay big prices for apartments want a car space as an essential requirement even if the apartment is cheek by jowl with good public transport. Those who will avail of co-living won’t really have parking demands and the return will be as handsome as premium rents. Sad but true.
how would places like this work with covid 19? lets say it’s built in a year and covid is still with us? what then? how do you self isolate with 200 people?
You’re totally right PMase, it’s bound to cause problems. And nobody knows how long Covid will be with us, or when the next novel virus will arrive.
have we NO decent architects? none of the new buildings around town are in any way at least aesthetically pleasing, apart from the wetherspoons on camden street. now thats saying something, wetherspoons are blowing them all out of the water. thats the standard. utterly pathetic and typical irishness. bulldoze everythign to make way for cheap ugly builds designed to turn maximum profits. sometimes i really hate my fellow countrymen.
Lexicon library.
You can blame Dublin City Council planning dept. and the planning board, they clearly dont give a toss and the blame lies squarley with them. I mean its not like they just started planning the city in the last 10 years…they’ve kinda had a while to get this right.
the council and an bord pleanalla are the worst. they’ve made such a long lasting negative impact on the city. pure ignorance is at the base of their decisions.
Go on, tell us what’s wrong with it. I think it fits the site. Scale, materials, window, proportions are all suitable for the site. Express your moaning into an articulate criticism. Ah go on, leave an educated response.
it’s tasteless. , you just see size and what fits. A very basic way of looking at things. I’m talking about the physical presence, how it is on the eye, and it looks like every template celtic tiger era building thrown up by tasteless thugs .
Oh cool, a direct provision centre for posh Irish people. Hope the management fees include a weekly ‘rona test.
