This phase was accompanied by slum clearances, leading to the destruction of swathes of Georgian fabric. Prompted by a re-evaluation of civic development, Dublin experienced what has been referred to as an ‘urban renaissance’ in the closing decades of the twentieth century, where an emphasis was placed on urban regeneration and considerable investment was made in the conservation of historic structures.

  • The Story of a House Kevin Casey
    The Story of a House Kevin Casey Everything we know about Nathaniel Clements suggests that he was an archetypal Ascendancy man. Eighteenth century Dublin was a good place in which to be young, rich and of the ruling class. The Treaty of Limerick - the event that marked the beginning of the century as definitively as the Act of Union ended it - provided a minority of the population, the Ascendancy, with status, influence and power. Penal Laws, imposed upon Roman Catholics and Dissenters, made it impossible for them to play an active part in Government or to hold an office under the Crown. Deprived of access to education and burdened with rigorous property restrictions, they lived at, or below, subsistence level, alienated from the ruling class and supporting any agitation that held hope of improving their lot. Visitors to the country were appalled by what they saw: "The poverty of the people as I passed through the country has made my heart ache", wrote Mrs. Delaney, the English wife of an Irish Dean. "I never saw greater appearance of misery." Jonathan Swift provided an even more graphic witness: "There is not an acre of land in Ireland turned to half its advantage", he wrote in 1732, "yet it is better improved than the people .... Whoever travels this country and observes the face of nature, or the faces and habits and dwellings of the natives, will hardly think himself in a land where law, religion or common humanity is professed." For someone like Nathaniel Clements, however, the century offered an amalgam of power and pleasure.

I am happy to say that OPW performed with distinction throughout this period and particular credit must go to our Facilities Management staff for rising to the challenges. The decentralisation process announced by Minister Charlie McCreevy in 2003 is well underway with the selection of sites ongoing. Agreement was reached on the purchase of many properties throughout 2004 and Property Management Services continue to make substantial progress in delivering this programme within the agreed timeframe.
