Summary
[edit]DescriptionO2 As Viewed From Grand Canal Docks.jpg |
Dublin Docklands is the area of the city of Dublin, Ireland, on both sides of the River Liffey, roughly from Talbot Memorial Bridge eastwards to the Point Depot. It is currently undergoing a large amount of development some of which will never be completed. When I was student I worked part-time for B+I Shipping on the North Wall and at the time the area was well past it's peak and it was well into a terminal cycle of decline. The area may have had "character" but it was a dirty dangerous place and there was a lot of poverty and unemployment. There were many no-go areas. Despite all the above problems I actually like working there. Over the last twenty five years, economic restructuring and co-ordinated planning has re-shaped both the society and the space but now much of the progress could be negated by the recent financial crash here in Ireland. To the casual visitor it may not be so obvious that there are very definite signs of decline. There are many uncompleted and unoccupied buildings, vandalism is on the increase. Restaurants, pubs and shops are going out of business. I have spoken to a number of foreign students and workers currently living in the area and they all claim that there are constantly being harassed by locals (mainly young children) and they all claim that this has been a recent development. When I was covering the recent election I met some Labour Party workers who confirmed these reports to be true and accurate. They also claimed that because of the complexity of the buildings and infrastructure that the decline could be very rapid because the required level of maintenance is not available. |
