    It will all happen again one day. Nothing has changed in this nation.

    What pissed me off most is the poor building quality of these buildings.QUOTE]


    What about the lowlife scumbag c*nts who went into new buildings and made sh*t out of them, smashing windows, stealing cables & copper water tanks etc...

    Is this now accepted behaviour when there are vacant buildings?
    What are the Gaurds doing to apprehend these criminals?

    Disgusting.

    The "low life scumbags" were more than likely "not been paid sub-contractors". Perhaps they took back the materials that they had paid for to fit elsewhere or return to the suppliers in an attempt to reduce their losses?

    Heading out the Bundoran road, turn right just after old red Cottage B&B, towards the tennis club (Can also go out the old Bundoran road onto the main road, last on left).
    The house (or there could be two) is first on the right, daubed with graffiti.

    Apparently it was a company called Cordil Construction who bought it for top dollar, let people stay in it after they bought it and planned to build a sh1tload of houses there and behind it and where that B&B used to be.

    But guess what happened then...

    The full story of what happened with regard to the purchase, 'planning', construction and demise of the apartment complex in Ballisodare should be made into a move though.

    Tis like the fall of Rome I tells ye!!

    :eek:

    Most Irish apartment blocks were built to rubbish standards. No insulation, no sound proofing so you can hear your neighbors going to the toilet, no communal facilities, abominable construction quality (to the point where some buildings had their roofs blown off by a big wind storm), and that's probably just for starters.

    The people who didn't buy these shoebox pieces of s.... were lucky. Nothing tragic here. It's the mugs who bought all the other apartments nationwide that I feel are tragic cases.

    I say knock these eyesores and any other uninhabited apt. blocks. Anywhere.
