In general all the generic small town Celtic Tiger retail-with-a-few-flats overhead type buildings, they are everywhere around the country – cheap, soulless and thrown up by builders who fancied themselves as architects. A blight on our nation.
I know they’re not there anymore and some of you folk here are probably too young to remember them, but my god were the Ballymun flats the most grim looking things you’d ever seen.
