It probably was a good plan alright....it just wasn't followed up with appropriate infrastructure

A great photo of the Holy Spirit school that sent a little quiver down my spine. Getting the palm of my hand smashed by a wooden ruler regularly by my lovely teacher. And I can actually still smell the inside of the classrooms. I left in 1978 age 8 but those flats stay in your bones. The way the wind whistled around the gaps in the blocks and almost took you off your feet. And trying to not get robbed on your way to the van. The funniest and warmest people I've ever known.

It's nothing but a DIRTY filthy dump, then and now, just imagine spending millions on flat's then 50 yrs later ripping them down to spend yet more millions on re-doing new dwelling and yet the stinking name hasn't changed,,😂😂😂

It’s a strange thing that I often reflect on that high rise flats never worked anywhere on the island of Ireland nor in GB either but in other parts of the world they are the norm in accommodation and work fine?

Some amount of BULL by the narrator claiming that Great Britain learned from Ballymun how to build Housing estates??? Great Britain was building Housing estates 20 or more years earlier from just after the war and it would be more accurate to say Ballymun learned from GB.???

@richiehoyt8487 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, Britain had already built up a wealth of expertise in the building of kips at this stage. It would be fair to say that Britain's building industry _did_ greatly benefit from the free movement of Irish builders' labourers across the Irish Sea with their innovative techniques though... Paddy: "Damp~proofing? Pass me that newspaper"; Takes Daily Record, shoves it between window frame and surrounding panel - " *Bingo!* Dere's your damp~proofing!" OR "Here, Little Lord Fauntleroy, where you going with all them steel pins?" "The Guv'nor said we was to make sure to hammer in a bolt every second set of holes!" "Yeah, well, he's not hammering in any bolts down on the ground there with his clipboard, is he? Anyway, do you wanna make last shout in The Swan & Cygnet or not?!" "Err, I dunno Paddy, these are gonna be load - bearing walls" "Exactly! And if you're at home hanging a nice picture up over the fire, how many nails do you use?" (Trepidatiously) "One..?" "One! There you go! Exactly! So when the Guv'nor said every second hole, he has to cover himself, see, 'cos some of the l8[ack lads were taking the p155, and only putting a pin in on the corners. The only reason these panels _have_ all these holes in the _first_ place is to allow the builder a bit of discretion. Stick in one of those bolts every six or eight holes, Hackney Harry, and I guarantee you, everything'll be _safe as houses!!"_
