Every Time I pass one these buildings I think of Herbert Simms. A wonderful man who died far too young. We should put a statue up in his memory. I have always maintained that local government should never have given up the provision of social housing. At the moment it is needed more then ever. It's amazing how we could do it then with no money in the coffers and cannot do it now. It's amazing how we all have such short memories.

I really enjoyed this. He had a lot of range with his designs and really filled in the gaps between the english buildings before them

I lived in two of his dwellings, and still live in one. Better that the best apartments, solid build, convenient to everything. City centre 15 min walk bus, rail .

But sure how would FF and FG buddy landlords rip us off if we had public housing

I live in newer flats in ballybough they were only renovated in 2005/2006 there just rotten now hate the balconys😀😐

You're every where

O Allah, send a perfect prayer and complete greeting of peace upon our chief Muhammad - the one by whom problems are solved, and anxieties are relieved, and needs are fulfilled, and aspirations are attained and good endings are received, and by whose noble face the clouds give rain - and upon his family and companions, with every glance and every breath, by the number of everything that is known to You.

Eh? The numbers here are tiny, a fraction of the 33k we build today. And it was significantly cheaper.

Conscious this video is hinting at the 'Brit blame' undercurrent, however Dublin was built for a small population, mostly business and governing from the 14th-17th C, and by the 18th C onwards it extended beyond the city walls. The continuous flow of people to Dublin was not the result of policy rather high birth rate amongst the poor, meaning an unending flow of homeless packing into a small space. My mother was a nurse in the late 40's in Dublin and saw these tenements, however the mistake was to pull them down and not renovate them as they were only built for well off families, not the poor that crowded into them and reduced rooms to wreckage. So much was destroyed that could have been saved, but ignorant TD's and DCC types destroyed a city that was meant to vie with European capitals. Today, the same issue continues, too many people trying to live in too small a space. As a consequence classical architecture suffers, and, in time Dublin will become like Rome with lots of ruins amongst modernity.

Wtf awful buildings Christ
