Only about 900 going to Molesworth
The rest are all being hoofed out to areas around the M50.

AIB’s new place is an eyesore.

Ah it looks shit. I know what they were going for and the planners clearly constrained them, but it looks plastic and rubbish. It might age in better.

I was a fan of the concept of it as I'm sick of just glass dominated buildings. Grant Thornton's HQ being built at the moment is an example, apparently it will be very nice inside and will look grand, but it's not particularly original. Up around the old part of town I like the fuller look. The new Arthur Cox building is fantastic as is the two blocks gone up on Dawson Street.

I'm not so sure on Capitol Dock at the moment. Looks decent from a distance but not great up close.

Are you off your rocker

At €45 psf you can bet your ass not even Facebook is going to piss away money like that.

A couple of recent pictures from and of Capitol Dock




I like how the north of the river is looking now towards the convention centre. As it happens I heard PWC are bursting at the seams in their building.

Thousands of people stopped paying their mortgages once they knew their houses would not be repossessed.

A Central Bank report has found a direct link between an increase in the number of people going into arrears and a High Court judgment which blocked banks from reclaiming homes.

In 2011 a High Court judge made a ruling to block the repossession of homes. This was due to a legal loophole which was addressed two years later.

A new report from the Central Bank has found that during this time, people stopped paying their mortgages.

According to the Irish Independent, these people could have continued to pay, but went into arrears instead, because they knew they couldn't be evicted.

The new paper has found a direct link between the High Court judgement and an increase in the number of people defaulting.

Ireland has some of the highest mortgage debt in Europe with almost 51,000 residential mortgages more than three months in arrears.

Yep, 10 year fixed @ 1.55%

The article above explains why Irish banks can't offer the same rate as banks on the continent. But as the man said, yeah.... Bankers.

Not very fair of me to use that figure, its not an Irish mortgage.

I had a chat today with our 'oul pal Yanis Varoufakis. Annoyingly, he's actually quite likable in person.

This cúnt needs to be put back in his box in no uncertain terms.

Is there any valid reason fro female circumcision?

When I did a quick google search all the links equated it to female genital mutilation.

There are some reasons for male circumcision, with nothing to do with religion.

I see O'Donnell bought another pile nearby to the last, at least the locals will breath a sigh of relief, there were rumours that a certain C Mc Gregor was eyeing up the "Gaff"

Bankruptcy, yeh, sure...

Are they not allowed to live the lifestyle they have become accustomed to, or some shite like that?

So a friend of mine is doing to the masters in Social Work in UCD at the moment.

Young lad he knows wrote an essay arguing for increased personal responsibility for drug addict parents and not to lay everything at the feet of the state.

He was asked to leave the course.
