@Orla_Hegarty @SustainableTall I remember visiting one of those in 2000 when we were designing phase 1. A great Ballymun community spirit, although I did get shot at on a site visit 😂

@roundbarrel @AdamBronkhorst Only it's not. Virtually all petrol cars are fine, and only older, larger engined diesel models are above the threshold - at which point their annual road tax would make them unaffordable for the poorest anyway....

@Victoria_Spratt This was a particularly bad resi conversion I came across whilst visiting a nearby site a few years ago. It backs onto a huge, noisy warehouse.

@AnnaLandmark @MunicipalDreams Would love to see the plan of that house with the central arched entrance!
