There's a few from that age that are revered, like Berkeley Library, think Lovin Dublin did a run down of their favourite ones.
But there's lots of really bad examples too, like that shopping centre, brutal.

I didn't read the article at all but that could mean that supplying new houses to the market randomly won't lower prices due to the overwhelming demand that will still exist.
Government building more houses can be different as they can offer them on affordable schemes for certain people.

Neighbour two doors up has a dwelling built at the bottom of their garden. Grand, don't really have a problem with that.
The tenant there seems to have acquired a dog. On Tuesday night it barked continuously and very loudly from 3am until I left the house at 8am.
I can see it at the door of the dwelling. It's inside.
Today, I am working at home and it's been going continuously since 8am.
Nobody at home (think my neighbour is away, he's often travelling) and no sign of the tenant. What's my play? DSPCA?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Hope this helps
real prices not nominal prices are what are important

Left him a note anyway:
The dog that you own has been at the door of your place and barking continuously since early this morning. It also barked non-stop since 3am on Wednesday night.
1. The dog is clearly very distressed which is unfair
2. You are also disturbing many of your neighbours both during the night and during the day – which is equally unfair
Please resolve this immediately or we will be forced to contact the DSPCA and the Gardai"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Am I not getting something about the proposed Govt Mortgage scheme or is it not absolutely prime to be gamed?
Consider a graduate accountant / lawyer earning something from 30k-40k p/a 2-4 years into their graduate programme.
Under the Govt scheme they just need to go get bounced twice in 12 months for the absolute max, and then apply for the Govt preferential rates 'safe in the knowledge' that upon completion of their graduate contract, they will have no problem paying the mortgage. It's an astoundingly good deal for someone who 'can see' a pay bump up the road no?
I've a brother 8 months into a graduate scheme, and I'm pretty confident that he would be able to get on this scheme, and absolutely absolutely should not be the kind of person that the scheme is supposed to help!

Guards will listen to a complaint and type it up on their invisible computer.
Obviously there are various control of dogs acts and noise pollution laws but unlikely you'll get any help from authority and would have to do it all yourself.
Hopefully however the neighbours will address the problem when you bring it to their attention. They may not be aware of it at all.
Its terribly annoying, theres a backgarden dog on my street who fucking howls for 2 hours every dawn but because he has some sort of kennel and is clearly well fed there's nothing much can be done.

So unless the scheme is very much undersubscribed it will be hard to get approval for the likes of your Bro, though it will definitely be worth trying and using whatever angles work to get in on it.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 25-01-18, 14:56.Turning millions into thousands
