@gavreilly The painting in the background is of 'The battle of Ballynahinch was a military engagement of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 between a force of roughly 4,000 United Irishmen rebels led by Henry Munro and approximately 2,000 government troops under the command of George Nugent.'

It's great to see refurbishments underway at the former Tourism Office in Limerick City. Designed by local architects Murray O'Laoire Architects, the building won the RIAI Gold Medal in 1989–1991.👏🥇 #DerelictIreland #Limerick #Architect @archiseek https://t.co/ftIZ0SP1NY

Strolling through a sunny bustling Dublin this evening, clearly disproves all the false claims that pedestrianisation would have a catastrophic effect on Drury Street businesses. 🚶🚲😎 #Dublin #ClimateAction

We've transformed our city in many ways in the last five years. This street used to be full of cars. Now there's music, laughter, food, people sitting down. Life slows down a little bit on Parliament Street.

These are owned by UCC & featured in our 'This is Derelict Ireland' report Intially bought by DairyGold who got a 13.3% return on their investment (aka speculation) UCC bought this site in 2019 for €17.25m & now don't have money to do anything but won't sell them either

Rice's Pub on St. Stephen's Green & Dandelion Market on South King Street were demolished in 1986 to make way for the St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. The Slazenger family had assembled the site over 15 years, beginning in 1966. #TheColourOfIreland #Dublin

1 in every 22 houses vacant or derelict. An appalling failure of government.

🚨 One in every 22 homes in Ireland is either vacant or derelict. This shocking statistic comes amid a housing emergency, with homelessness reaching a record 16,353 people—including 2,391 families, 252 people over 65, and more than 5,145 children—now accessing emergency homeless
