Why do you want the original plans?

Any arch / arch tech could easily walk the neighbourhood, an hour surveying, and a few hours drawing could do this..

No. Land registry deal with the site map outlined.
Have you looked into the Architect himself?

I doubt any local authorities would have these drawings so the best bet would be if his estate has any of his work stored or on display.

yes,looked up the architect and that is one avenue i am looking at,just thought there might have been somewhere that might have kept things like that.thanks.

You could try www.iarc.ie

For what purpose are you looking for plans?

Many of the houses in Marino were originally built by Dublin Corporation. If yours is one of those there might be plans buried in the Corporation's archives somewhere. Worth enquiring, anyway.

The land registry doesn't have anything to do with house plans.
