Can you tell me why these Georgian buildings on Clare Street aren't on the protected structures register? @LimerickCouncil @moranjohna1 @GeorgianGroup @LmkCivicTrust #Limerick #Heritage #HeritageAtRisk

I took this photo in 1988 of the last remaining intact Georgian Houses on Clare St., Limerick. They were all still in family ownership. It's a shame now to see all the doorcases gone in the intervening years and the last remaining fanlight disappeared recently during renovations

We are so grateful Ciaran Murphy for allowing us to visit Barntick house today . An amazing house and a sensitive restoration

Dr Judith Hill, of the Limerick Chapter, discusses the work of architect Francis Bindon at one of his houses, Carnelly House, which we were lucky enough to visit today

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

ANOTHER new book has just hit the shelves 🥁 ... Welcome Gothic: Building Castles in post-Union Ireland by Judith Hill‼️ 📚 Available now in all good local bookshops and on the Four Courts Press website: fourcourtspress.ie/books/202…

In the midst of a housing crisis, the number of people in emergency accommodation rose again last month to 17,517, including 5,571 children. Meanwhile, hundreds of Georgian townhouses in Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Waterford, Galway, Kilkenny, Drogheda, Dundalk, Sligo, Athlone, Wexford, Ennis, and Tralee remain vacant — and, in many cases, derelict — and could be converted into much-needed apartments for rent or sale. If you’re thinking about tackling a vacant or derelict Georgian townhouse, I’ve put together this guide to useful links, grants, and supports in Ireland, including funding options to help bring homes back to life. I’ve also added worked client scenarios showing which grants to stack, when to apply, and when payments are made. The latest addition to the worked client scenarios section covers a Georgian townhouse multi-unit conversion of a Protected Structure into apartments for rent.

Absolutely beautiful.

Urban Vs rural debate. Don't fall for the Dublin trap. Cork is the bigger urban driver of economic activity. Pharma and Apple. Massive corporation tax revenue. We're all subsidised by Cork.

Stunning designs. @limerick2030, why can we not have something like this for Cleeves instead of bland apartment blocks? @LDA_Ireland This would have been stunning at the gasworks site. Government agencies should be leading the way in restoring character and sense of place.

My visual shows some of the houses demolished in St Mary’s Park, Limerick City, one of the city’s oldest estates (built in the 1930s), which once had 463 houses. Of interest, more than 1,200 homes have been demolished across Limerick’s four regeneration areas, Moyross, Southill, St Mary’s Park, and Ballinacurra Weston, as part of the €400 million Limerick Regeneration project, one of the largest regeneration programmes in the State. Launched around 2007–2008 by the Irish Government, most demolitions involved vacant or derelict homes and took place between 2008 and 2012. Council reveals number of houses demolished as part of Limerick Regeneration: Nick Rabbitts 08 July 2021 'MORE than 1,200 homes have been knocked in Limerick’s four regeneration areas – but only 149 have been built in their place.' limerickleader.ie/news/news/… #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #Limerick

Study them hard, not hit them hard. Maybe learn from 5,000 years of architecture instead of erasing it.

I love urban greenery and have even written studies of its value and well-being enhancing qualities but great places & architecture don’t aesthetically need them. Bad ones do.
