Thanks, you’re right – it was completed in 1953. A fantastic structure. he only thing wrong with public buildings of the 1950s and 1960s is that the public used them efficiently but didn’t warm to them, i.e. hurried in, hurried out.

The leaning tower of SIPTU?
More like the “Leaning Cowards of SIPTU”, Paul.
Siptu is a great building if they’d only replace those windows.
Yeah, even start with the blinds because the current ones are godawful.
What’s the deal with the proposed renovation? Did it get stopped altogether?
Permission for new building was appealed to An Bord Pleanala and denied permission
What, cyclist without a light?
This?
