Half a street shut in Dublin city

  1. Soon to be demolished and turned into 3 blocks of flats

  2. That place is still derelict? They must be 20 years in that state now. I think the O’Callaghan family owned those houses and had planned a commercial development there, but were denied demolition permission due to squatters. No. 11 was vested in Dublin City Council last August and the remainder is on the Derelict Sites Register. It’s a shame, it’s a prime location located just beside Trinity, Merrion Square…the entirety of Dublin 2.

    Tangentially related, but there is dereliction and lack of upkeep not just here, but across the city and particularly historical properties. Mam grew up in a historical house abroad. If you wished to own a historical house within a defined city area, you had to look after it or face fines. We actually have some of the finest Georgian residential architecture here and it should be looked after.

  3. Whole floors of boarded up apartments in the flats around there too. It’s a fucking disgrace.

  4. Architecturally the red brick houses of Dublin are beautiful. Its a sin that they are allowed to fall into such disrepair.

  5. Dublin really looks like utter shiet compared to mainland Europe.

  6. Charge the owner 10% of value for the area per annum in tax, won’t be empty for long then. If there is a dispute over ownership, charge each of the parties an equal cut of the 10%.
