I posted about a place on Roys and he took it down .Before I started driving a taxi I ran a property maintainance business and most if not every multi story developement would fail a proper inspection .Builders didnt give a fuck Balconies fitted with Rawl Bolts to brickwork windows and doors glewed in with Tec 7 .One of the best adaptations was the appartments on the top of Chappo Hill The Spires  I think they are called   .The original entrance was off the Ballyfermot Road but now it is off Chappo Hill so the address changed any snow or ice or even wet and the entrance which is about 1in 5 incline is deadly .Who got a brownie to allow that .

They're back to fucking up any kinda shite using immigrant workers who'd consider a two storey cardboard box to be luxury. Holywell in Swords is another example, ever notice how there's no grip on the roads in there? Pyrite, pyrite and more pyrite....

The Coast in Donaghmede/Baldoyle is riddled with Pyrite.

Belmayne is ever so slightly upmarket from being homeless.

Still, paying €33  a week and HAP paying the rest, you can't really complain!!

Surely there has to be some sort of Health, Safety and compliance rules that they have to pass !

Half the gaffs built in Donegal in the early noughties contained Muscovite Mica(Advanced Pyrite) and were signed off as being structurally sound....structural engineers are usually called in after the problem is noticed.

Well whoever the cnuts are that signed off should be shot with balls of their own Sh1t.

Remember Priory Hall , some people took their lives as a result of the same cnuts signing off

Priory Hall was some fuck up alright. As Hal noted there was a scheme in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan affected by pyrite but the residents seemed to be treated a lot better as the problem was resolved. The underpinning process was interesting though. After listening to some pub talk I drove up for a look a few years back, one of the gaffs looked like it was floating in air... I recall seeing something similar in that new scheme on Kettles Lane, Swords too... shoulda took a picture.
