  • 160302 IT Sale of Cathal Brugha St Prop
    DIT to sell Cathal Brugha Street College on 75th anniversary Extensive college buildings in Dublin 1 are guiding between €15m and €20m Jack Fagan Cathal Brugha Street College: includes art deco style building fronting on to Cathal Brugha Street, Marlborough Street and Thomas Lane, and a connected 1990s building opening on to Marlborough Street. The college adjoins the Gresham Hotel Another landmark building in Dublin city centre, Cathal Brugha Street College, is to be offered for sale a week after the adjoining Gresham Hotel was launched on the international market by Nama. The college trained thousands of chefs and hotel managers over the years and is due to celebrate its 75th anniversary this year. The sale comes as the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) pushes ahead with plans to relocate the Cathal Brugha Street College and students from five other campus sites in the city centre to its new campus being developed at Grangegorman. Killian O’Higgins of WK Nowlan Real Estate Advisers is quoting €15-€20 million for the iconic college building off O’Connell Street which includes two properties – the original early 1940s art deco style building fronting on to Cathal Brugha Street, Marlborough Street and Thomas Lane and a connected 1990s building opening on to Marlborough Street. Though each building has its own independent access they are linked at ground and first floor levels via a six-storey building of which the remaining upper floors form part of the Gresham Hotel. DIT and Grangegorman Development Agency plan to offer the college for sale in one or two lots with a combined floor area of 10,761sq m (115,716sq ft).

  • Comparison of Road Safety Behaviour of Rented Dublin Bike Users with That of Owner Cyclists
    Comparison of Road Safety Behaviour of Rented Dublin Bike Users with that of Owner Cyclists. Eileen Deegan Bsc in Environmental Health School of Food Science and Environmental Health, College of Sciences and Health, Dublin Institute of Technology, 2011 Abstract Cycling is a unique way of travelling and exercising. The Irish Heart Foundation recommends thirty minutes of exercise most days in the week to maintain a healthy heart (IHF, 2008). The introduction of the Dublin-bike scheme by Dublin city Council in connection with JCDecaux on the 13th of September 2009 has encouraged and allowed more people to cycle around the city of Dublin. Since their introduction, Dublin-bikes have grown rapidly in popularity. By the 31st of December 2009 24,016 people had subscribed to the scheme (Dublin City Council, 2009). On the 16th of August 2010, The Irish Times published that the one millionth journey had been taken on a Dublin-bike (Caollaí, É.Ó., 2010). As the Dublin-bike does not issue its users with any form of personal protective equipment (PPE), it is left up to the user to choose if they see the need for their use. Note that between the years 2002 to 2006 there were 427 collisions involving cyclists reported to the Gardaí in Dublin City, of which 11 were fatal (Tracey Solicitors, 2010) The aims and objectives of this study are to: i) carry out observational studies of safety equipment used by both categories of cyclists (Dublin-bike users and owner cyclists); ii) investigate the factors inhibiting use of PPE; iii) investigate sensory awareness/preparedness among cyclists; iv) assess cyclists’ road positioning; v) assess communication between cyclists and other traffic; and vi) assess the responsiveness of cyclists to the behaviour of pedestrians and other vehicles.

Wiecznie wilgotna i ciepła za przyczyną Atlantyku i Golfsztromu, zapewnia znakomite warunki we- getacji. Nie tylko roślin. W samolocie tanich linii angielskich z Polski do Belfastu i podczas podniebnego powrotu sły- chać szczebiot kilkuletnich dzieci po polsku. To młode mał- żeństwa z dwojgiem, trojgiem maleńkich pociech, także z niemowlętami, lecą na wakacje do dziadków w Polsce lub wracają od nich do nowej, przyjaznej im ojczyzny. Też jakby „przedmurza” srodze doświadczonego w historii przez protestanckich sąsiadów. W hotelach i restauracjach można porozumieć się w naszym języku, a w kościołach trafić na mszę dla rodaków. Wyprawa zorganizowana przez nestora krakowskich mo- stowców – profesora Kazimierza Flagę – wiodła na mosty, a że w programie przewidziano też kilka średniowiecznych zamków, to była nadzieja na zdjęcia prowadzących do nich mostów. Być może zwodzonych nad fosami. W większej ich liczbie ujawniłyby się jakieś podobieństwa… podstawy do uogólnień. Nic z tego. Przy zamkach nie było fos. Nawet suchych. Ani mostów… a jeśli nawet były dawniej, to dziś ustąpiły miejsca nasypom i wyasfaltowanym drogom dojaz- dowym. Lecz ponieważ drogi te wiodą dawnymi szlakami – przebiegają też po dawnych mostach sklepionych z ciosów kamiennych. Kamień, materiał miejscowy, łatwo dostępny, odporny, ponadczasowy, więc i mostów przetrwało niemało. W większości – podobne. Wystarczy kilka zdjęć (fot. 1). Kulminacją wyprawy były mosty w Dublinie. Mieszanka dawnych i współczesnych. Wśród nich dwa mosty Santiago Calatravy. Niewiele jest miast, gdzie ten słynny architekt i mostowiec postawił więcej niż jeden obiekt. Można przy- puszczać, że polubił to miasto…, wszak Dublin to koleb- ka piwa Guiness i whisky Jameson.

  • Luas Cross City Cycling Report October 2017
    Cycling and Luas Cross City Assessment of cycling feasibility on the Luas Cross City route 1 CONTENTS Introduction Current Situation Design guidance Options Development Methodology Quality of Service Assessment Recommendations for Cycling Part A: North-bound Assessment - Saint Stephen’s Green to Broadstone Part B: South-bound Assessment – Broadstone to Saint Stephen’s Green Summary of Recommendations October 2017 2 Introduction Luas Cross City (LCC) connects the northern end of the Luas Green Line at St. Stephen’s Green to Broombridge station in Cabra, intersecting with the Luas Red Line at O’Connell Street and Abbey Street. Between St. Stephen’s Green and Broadstone Station the route runs on-street. The alignment includes a number of streets that form part of the city centre cycle network (see below), with other cycle network routes crossing the LCC route at junctions. The Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan (NTA, 2013) (GDACNP) is the primary reference document for the identification of higher volume cycle routes. However, the nature of urban cycling is such that all roads are likely to attract cyclists to some degree unless it is specifically precluded (one-way streets, pedestrian streets with no marked cycle facility, etc.). The GDACNP proposed the following cycle network for the city centre (Sheet N1a): 3 The written report for the proposed cycle network for Dublin City Centre includes the following commentary regarding Luas: 3.1.2 Dublin City Centre - Context for the Cycle Route Network In the city centre sector there is considerable competition for road space between the various modes of transport of bus, light rail, car, truck, bicycle and pedestrian.
