Blazing-fast image creation – using just your voice. Try Grok Imagine.

Rare sight of Bray promenade Martello tower around 1880, it seems to have been demolished around 1884 and some of the rubble used for construction of the promenade

Just the 15 blocks of racist comments and threats from one post.

Probably better would be to have been 3-4 storey rather than 5-6 stores and entirely remove the block nearest Howth Castle gate and you'd still have a profitable development of 300+ apartments.

Completion of 500 apartments at 'Claremont', Howth announced today. Positives: Great to see lots of apartments on a dart line/station, near amenities. Negatives: almost everything else

Having done a bit of research it seems likely the street was named after the adjacent Lincoln's chambers which were related to the legal profession and are likely a reference to London's Lincoln's Inn, a barrister's chambers of the same name which were well known.

RT @JamesLucasIT: Colorized videos feel like a time machine 🧵 . 1. This is what Jerusalem looked like in 1897.

The buildings referenced in the article are actually on Capel Street and not the buildings noted in the photograph (slightly confusingly from the Irish Times).

It seems clear that we need a dedicated body to be able to repurpose and restore heritage properties as housing as these projects are unprofitable and overly complex for most private investors and beyond the reach of local councils resources.

Particularly on utilities (electricity, waste water) at present, data centres are preventing, delaying and blocking the building and completion of housing.

Not that there is anything wrong with data centres but we have the highest amount of them per capita in the world already and its difficult to see the need here. If it was renewable energy or another large infrastructure project there may be more logic to it.

It seems like it would be a fundamentally immoral decision to grant permission and its development would provide virtually no benefit to the state.

Why would we permit the most recent €3 billion data centre in Naas, County Kildare. The planning, financing, development and construction resources that would be needed to build it are equivalent to c6,000+ homes and we are re-directing these resources away from housing.

The fact that the report references "Lincoln Place" 10 years before Abraham Lincoln was elected also rubbishes the assertion that the street was named for Abraham Lincoln.
