    the convention centre?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭Mr Simpson


    I was actually thinking the Grand Canal-Bord Gais Energy-Daniel Liebeskind-Whatever They Can Think of next Theatre


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    No. Neither are correct. Quite cold


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭Mr Simpson


    Hmmm, it was all the angles that threw me off. It looks incredibly familiar


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Its in quite an unusual spot. I'm surprised they went to so much effort when most people passing would be oblivious to it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭Mr Simpson


    Its not that development beside Heuston by any chance, I'm racking my brains and this is all I can think of.


  • Registered Users Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Johnnio13


    Atirum of the Dublin COunty Council building? or Eircom Building by Hueston


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Yep, its just as you walk of of Superquinn Heuston South Quarter. Looking up wards.

    Is it the O'Brien Institute - DFB training centre (and formerly an orphanage)?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 11,941 Mod ✭✭✭✭BeerNut


    It isn't. I've kept it inside the canal ring: I'm not a monster.

    It seems it was the Kildare Street Club: http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,716244,733834,7,9

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Woodward
    Woodward collaborated in particular with the O'Shea brothers. James and John O'Shea were stone carvers from County Cork. They, along with London sculptors, carved the abundant decorative stonework at Trinity, showing owls, lizards, cats and monkeys, as well as other flora and fauna. Later the O'Sheas carved stonework at the Kildare Street Club, including the famous window piece showing the club members as monkeys playing billiards. Some stories tell of the O'Sheas getting into trouble and possibly even being sacked for carving cats or monkeys at the Oxford University Museum.

    Nice one Victor, you are correct. The view is from College Park, across the cricket pitch.

    Give it to uch as they were also known as Dun Laoghaire Baths and I don't have any pics on my work PC either.

    To be fair it doesn't restrict it to city in the OP.

    It is the Dublin City Fourm all the same and otherwise some people may be tempted to post a picture of a boreen in Garristown or a shed in Balscadden.

    So...does Dublin City include all the post codes to Dublin 24? Otherwise, what is the restriction? This should be amended in the OP and it's a great idea for a thread btw. A clue could be posted if its a photo of some suburbian area, such as Baldoyle.....

    Exactly, it's Dublin, not LA. There's a thread over in cool vids that does similar (with street view screen shots) for the whole country and they manage fine. Would entice more traffic if it's the whole county too. ;)

    The former thread went on to something like 5000 posts without much problem. I don't recall people posting pics from outer areas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭goz83


    Jaysus, i've never felt so isolated living in dublin 13 :eek:

    Still....What are the restrictions? What do you class as the city? Is it just D1 & 2, or do you include 3 & 4 too? What about D5, which is not as city like as dublin 6, or Dublin 8 for that matter?

    I never seen the other thread, but would love to know what the actual restrictions are? I consider the areas with post codes to be part of Dublin city, even though a great deal of it is residential. I don't want to spoil the thread either, but an answer to my original question would be helpful, as i'd like to join in, but don't want to breaking any unwritten rules.
