Isn't it great how much the Dubs have forgotten about good planning over the years . The overall infrastructure descriptors are from pages 50-70D.-RAILWAYS.
The most important feature of the Railway System is the underground connection E. and W., and N. and S., crossing at different levels at the Central Station, a Union Station for Ireland.
Dublin is at present most unfortunate in the wide distance apart of its terminals, only connected on the north side by long circuitous loops. The Kingsbridge Terminal, in particular, with its only connection by tram to the centre along the quays, requires immediate improvement.
And so they removed the trams for 50 years and reintroduced the trams again, therefore in 2010 as in 1922 this still holds
"The Kingsbridge Terminal, in particular, with its only connection by tram to the centre along the quays, requires immediate improvement."The first thing to be done is to abolish the overhead connection between Westland Row and Amiens Street, which at present disfigures the whole river section of the City. The Railway Plant clearly shows how the underground connection is to be established, and the fact
that its route lies within the alluvial area of the Liffey Valley should not make its construction costly. The N. and S. connection would be a somewhat more expensive undertaking, cutting through rock, and would probably be carried out at a later date than the other. Electric
locomotives, such as are used in some of the Alpine Tunnels, should be hitched on for all underground connections.
In modern speak, do Interconnector before you do Metro North 0 -

Thanks for posting this - I have been looking for a reference to this very document for ages (read about it in college years ago). Nice one!

Rich people lived in places like "Rathmines Township" in those days and the poor north of the canal....not much changes does it ?? Rathmines Township was extended to Rathgar Sandymount and Ranelagh by WW1.
When Rathmines Town Hall was run by unionists as late as the 1920s the Rathmines and Rathgar Township council was then abolished and incorporated into Dublin Corpo in 1930. The areas of Ballsbridge Donnybrook Ringsend and the rest of Sandymount were called "Pembroke Township"
This was in a way an ingenious plan to get the well at heel from Howth and Rathmines and Kingstown to the railway termini without having to step on the surface of Dublin at all. Bit more history here
