    Basically should DCC sell this unique piece of history to a developer or keep it within the public realm?

    Personally I think architecture this rare should be carefully preserved, so I'm voting for the Little Museum. Hoping DCC can actually achieve something here other than a fiasco like 16 Moore St.

    Yet you're such the band wagoner when it comes to plssing and moaning about Dublin on After Hours boneyarsebogman. This is a national issue that happens to be in the Capital.

    The Little Museum is excellent (and not that little) it even features two of the countries most famous ruralites! I doubt you've been to it, you should go. I really hope they get the coach houses, they'll do a good job.

    I don't think converting to a café would be a terrible idea if it was done appropriately and the building and its historical significance was preserved. Its not like it is going to be used as a stables again.

    Perhaps the café could work as a private enterprise but linked to the museum?

    I'm sorry, but I'm a bandwagoner for speaking about the issues that Dublin has? Isn't that interesting ...?
