Eye On Dublin

Bravo @alancaw, amazing comms tonight, befitting such a great game.

The former DID Electrical on Mountjoy Square, a local institution, is for sale. Behind the famous gawky porch tacked over the original doorcase and fanlight is a fine three-bay Georgian house which, given the vicissitudes of its history, retains remarkably intact interiors 🧵

Of course, the perfect excuse. They'll also cancel the Metro in case he applies to be a driver too

Third time in a row the S2 has been mysteriously cancelled only minutes away from my stop. No faith in this service anymore @dublinbusnews @TFIupdates

Old house on Echlin St, exposed by Storm Ashley

So good they named it twice. Twice.

🇮🇪 A Map of Dublin, with the locations of all 22 Dublin clubs that at one point played in the League of Ireland but no longer do. The League of Ireland was founded by only Dublin based clubs. Six of the eight clubs are no longer competing in the League of Ireland.Dublin United, Frankfort, Jacobs, Olympia, St James's Gate, and YMCA have all dropped out since the inaugural season back in 1921-22. The League of Ireland title was won on 8 occasions by these former Dublin clubs, but only three did it. They were Drumcondra AFC, 5 times, St James Gate, twice, and Dolphins on one occasion. The FAI Cup was won by these clubs on 10 occasions, Drumcondra (5), St James's Gate (2), Transport (1) Home Farm (1), and Sporting Fingal (1) A high concentration of clubs came from the South Inner City, mainly early League of Ireland Clubs, with only 8 North Dublin clubs on the list. Cabinteely is the latest club to have dropped out in 2020 after they merged with Wicklow club, Bray Wanderers. Here is a thread with a little bit about each of the 22 clubs.

Fire at John Dillon St, Dublin 8. Part of Martin Keane's Mother Redcaps development. He also owns the Iveagh Markets site nearby.

Carved shopfront lettering just revealed on Mount St. ❤️

Dublin Commuter Coalition have sent a letter to the DDC CEO Richard Shakespeare, calling for an emergency meeting to discuss the planned Transport Plan being watered down and potentially delayed. Please read below and share widely. dublincommuters.ie/post/dublin-co…

@DaraghCassidy Case in point

Dublin Shitty Council. Ruining views and vistas since time immemorial. For a city starved of trees, we do love to plant the few ones we have in some of the worst places.

Simon's Place used to be a destination, a place to meet, hang out, and enjoy a cinnamon bun. It was never really about the coffee, but you'd have two anyway, and it would be jammed on a Saturday afternoon. This new version has binned all of that

The 2000-tastic, neon clad, and unfinished Conference Centre again. Surely we can do better. Custom House, City Hall, even O'Connell Street?

Can someone explain why there isn't an outdoor market here every weekend?

Nearly everything in that first image now gone. Unbelievable destruction

You'd miss the cars all the same...

@dubcivictrust What happened to the ground level frontage of the house on the left?

This fine block of shop houses was designed in the 1820s under Dublin's Wide Streets Commission to act as a foil to the adjacent Four Courts. Grander plans for the site by architect Patrick Byrne gave way to this standard Dublin formula of brick facades with granite dressings.
