The proposed Docklands strategic development zone (SDZ).
Olivia Kelly, in The Irish Times, reports:
“A fast-track planning scheme which would allow buildings up to 22 storeys high in Dublin’s docklands has been approved by Dublin City Council. The docklands strategic development zone (SDZ) will give council planners the power to make decisions that could not be appealed to An Bord Pleanála, including the power to grant permission for structures 50 per cent higher than Dublin’s current tallest building.
What!?
The public has four weeks to lodge an appeal against the scheme with An Bord Pleanála…
What!??
Anyone?

This is for Wakedock , Ireland’s very first wakeboarding cable park. The guys opened in March and we shot the video for them over a glorious weekend in June — hopefully it shows how much fun their whole setup is and how much fun you can have on the water right in the city centre.
A wakeboarding cable is unique because you don’t need a boat, it’s a very quiet system and is really safe (and much much easier!) to learn on.

And they call it “damning”.

MINISTER FOR the Environment Phil Hogan is to wind up the Dublin Docklands Development Authority in the wake of a report’s “damning findings” on its activities during the property boom.
The report, by the State’s spending watchdog, the Comptroller and Auditor General, was published last night. It has disclosed serious shortcomings in the authority’s conduct of its planning and development, particularly its involvement in the purchase of the Irish Glass Bottle site in 2007.
The site was bought for €431 million by a consortium that included the authority, but is now valued at a little over one-tenth of that, at €45 million.
Ah here. They developed the Docklands.
Oh, wait now.
