Where Is Your Pod Now?

Nick Kelly at 4:55 pm February 15, 2022

A grim statistic on Dublin’s loss of venues. Would like to think that if given the choice today DCC wouldn’t change the use of the Pod complex, and that Culture Dept might have a say too. Tripod, Pod, Crawdaddy all gone in one go. For what, a bunch of offices and vacant spaces? https://t.co/2aBRFyZ8Vp

Why do I even tweet anymore? Dublin is now a city steeped in self-hatred, hellbent on destroying every last vestige of what made it lovable. All is offered up on the altar of neoliberal greed. Efforts to visually preserve its heritage make no difference – like tears in rain… pic.twitter.com/TEyQl9HmO3
