Don’t listen to them, Dublin! You’re beautiful!
According to the Irish Times, analysis by architect Motti and urban planner Paul Kearns has revealed the “ugliest” parts of Dublin city centre.
The report is being presented to the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland as part of a plan to make the streets of Dublin more aesthetically pleasing to potential renters and buyers.
The report gives Usher’s Island on Bridgefoot Street as Dublin citys’ ugliest area, followed by Cork Street, The Coombe, Dolphin’s Barn, Christ Church High Street and Parnell Square – the only item on the list located north of the Liffey.
Sounds a bit harsh to us, if we’re being honest.
The report also lists the prettiest parts of the city. South of the Liffey, there’s the South Georgian area, Portobello East, Grafton Street, Kilmainham and Grafton Street. The best-looking part of Dublin’s north side is the Blessington Basin in Phibsboro.
