Brendan O'Sullivan

@MikeMoynihanEx RIP Micheál. Men all over Ireland used to drive to the beach on a hot Sunday, point the car at the sea, send the kids to paddle, sit in the front seat with the door open, one leg out and one leg in, listening to him on the radio, eating a cone and get sunburned on one arm only!

And of course the other other king.

@RichardBlyth7 @Padcollins92 Dude! I was, like, whaat?

@Brendan_OSull @Padcollins92 Gosh where did I pick up language like that? "Like forever". What am I, 25?

Anyone know why this land next to Leeds Station has been vacant for what seems like for ever?

And a big thank you to Prof Cathal O'Connell of @CACSSS1, Michael O'Flynn of the O'Flynn Group and Dr. Nicholas Mansergh MIPI @eastwoodbooks for getting it all started @IPICork @RTPIIreland @DeptHousingIRL

A mature, calm, serious + insightful conversation about housing challenges. Shows that real dialogue between planners and developers is possible + necessary. Lets keep it going! Hosted by @PlanningUCC and @IrishPlanInst @ @IrelandCif @PropIndIE #proudofplanning

@CraigMMcLaren @KevinPGilday @RTPIScotland Unacknowledged poets: I love it! More of this please😊#proudofplanning

Absolutely loved the #GeddesLecture given by @KevinPGilday this lunchtime. Challenging, inspiring & stimulating. It showed the value in sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone to reconnect with your original aspirations. Thanks to @RTPIScotland for organising

@TDrisheen I love it!!

And looking forward to this important public debate about it in @UCC next week. Joint event hosted by @IrishPlanInst and @PlanningUCC . eventbrite.ie/e/escaping-fro…

Great to see a planner engaging publicly with crucial development and construction issues. #proudofplanning linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

I love this. A planner speaking with clarity and purpose! #proudofplanning tcpa.org.uk/the-seven-dead…

@UCC @CACSSS1 RIP Chris. A true gentleman, a wonderful boss and a strong supporter of our students and teaching / research team here at @PlanningUCC. (And rumour has it that he conquered three @LeTour cols: Le Tourmalet, Tentes and Luz Ardiden🚴‍♀️!). A real champion. We will miss him.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Professor Chris Williams, Head of the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences. A dear friend and highly esteemed colleague who will be deeply missed. Gorffwys mewn hedd. ucc.ie/en/president/p…

@MikeMoynihanEx Don't forget Pavlov's one @MikeMoynihanEx : (pessimists salivating at any mention of decline!). On the other hand its nice to see a new Centra on North Main street; green shoots + a sign of confidence for residents of the historic city core

Today's city column: looking at Cork's future, and how Cork's present is explained by Schrödinger's loo, which is on the Grand Parade. And isn't.

Today's story is about a short, controversial document that radically changed how Manchester is built - and which the rest of the country followed 🧵. It starts with two buildings, neither of them particularly attractive, on the border of Moss Side and Hulme.

Still time to register for it! eventbrite.ie/e/ucc-planning…

These issues will be explored further - through a #proudoplanning lens - at the @UCCplanningsoc conference on 8th April in @UCC under the theme 'Shaping Tomorrow's Cities Together'. Looking forward to it..!

irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0… Some important reflections here on the forthcoming review of the National Planning Framework #proudofplanning. by Frances Ruane and Laura Burke. @PlanningReg @RTPIIreland @IrishPlanInst

I just love this. A bike-based technician servicing #TFIbikes in the city. #circulareconomy Happy and proud in his job this morning too. Well done everyone @TFIupdates @CorkCyclingCrew @corkcitycentre

@RichardBlyth7 Ah yes. No city was complete without a grecian or roman ruin on a hillside!

The glory that is Scotland
