Killian Forde, Sinn Fein Councillor, Fingal, thanks for the photos of the listed building on the Dart line which Iarnrod Eireann are refusing to take care of and are hoping the Council will de-list to get them out of a spot of bother. Behind all the graffiti, there’s a lovely little building waiting to be made use of. I think that fine brick course work is called Monk Bond. The limestone carvings around window are very nice too. With just a touch of imagination and a small amount of cash, there are so many ways in which this building could make a positive contribution to the community.

So the Local Authority says there’s nothing they can do to move things along? Under the Heritage Sections of the Planning Act and various parts of the Derelict Sites Act, they have tons of options.

See what happens when the building is eventually taken over by someone who wants to make use of it and they lodge a planning application – suddenly the Local Authority will have loads to say and the poor applicant will be made to feel like a conservation heretic for suggesting that the building be insulated…

Check out Killian's site lads. I love the 'Eurobore' stuff. I'd pick up on it myself but, you know me, I'm too polite.
