FOLLOWUP VISIT TO CAPEL STREET
TODAY I USED AN iPHONE 12 PRO MAX
Yesterday I published some photographs of Capel street with the intention of a follow up session using my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
I have a an iPhone XR which I use as a phone and after updating to the latest version of the operating system it constantly freezes. I also have an iPhone 12 Pro Max which I use as a camera and I have considered using it as my phone and getting an iPhone Pro Max to use as a camera but I have decided against doing so (mainly because of cost) and also because I have decided that my dedicated cameras do still produce much better images. There are times when the iPhone is a much better choice but the iPhone 12 pro max is acceptable under such circumstances.
According to Dublin City Council: “Since making of Capel Street traffic free, we have witnessed a remarkable increase in foot traffic and cycling activity. Pedestrians have increased by 12%, while cyclists have seen a 24% rise. These figures indicate a successful transition towards a more sustainable and people-friendly urban environment.” Personally, I find the Electric Bikes to be a bit of a pain.
Some people have objected to Capel Street being traffic free. The main objections are:
Increased traffic congestion on surrounding streets: Some businesses and residents have complained that the closure of Capel Street to traffic has led to increased congestion on surrounding streets.
Reduced access for deliveries and emergency vehicles: Some businesses have also expressed concern about the reduced access for deliveries and emergency vehicles on Capel Street.
Negative impact on businesses: Some businesses have argued that the closure of Capel Street to traffic has had a negative impact on their business, as it has made it more difficult for customers to reach them.
However, it is important to note that the majority of people who have responded to public consultations on the Capel Street traffic-free proposal have been in favour of it. A recent consultation by Dublin City Council found that 89% of respondents wanted to see traffic-free measures on Capel Street.
The City Council has also taken steps to address some of the objections to the traffic-free proposal. For example, they have increased the number of loading bays on Capel Street to facilitate deliveries. They have also worked with the emergency services to ensure that they have access to Capel Street at all times.
Overall, the decision to make Capel Street traffic free has been a popular one, but there are some people who have objected to it. The City Council is working to address these objections and to ensure that the traffic-free proposal benefits all users of the street.

THE WEATHER WAS DISAPPOINTING THIS AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND
CAPEL STREET AND BOLTON STREET HAD A POSITIVE VIBE DESPITE THE RAIN
The blackboard notice on Capel Street said “Positive Vibes Only It Is Only A Bit Of Rain” and to be honest everyone including those who had been soaked were in good humour.
According to Met Éireann, we were in for ‘mixed conditions’ over the weekend. Saturday was going to remain blustery in the morning and the southern and eastern parts of the country ere due to be hit by strong winds in parts. They were correct … many parts of Dublin were flooded on Saturday and to a lesser extent on Sunday.
I was awakened early on Sunday morning by the noise created by a sporting event at Henrietta Flats so I decided leave the area and get a bus to St Anne’s park in Raheny. At about lunch time there was a really intense rain storm and a path that I was walking along became a stream. I was lucky as I found shelter under a group of really large trees.
When the rain stopped I walked to the bus shelter at Doyle’s lane and as soon as I arrived at the shelter it began to rain and while I was there two large dogs arrived as, like me, they were seeking shelter from the rain. An hour later I arrived in the city centre but while walking along Abbey street I had to seek shelter from another intense rain storm and there was much flooding to be seen along Abbey Street, Capel street and Bolton Street.

I live across the street from Bolton Street College – or to be more accurate my front door is across the street from the building as my address is Henrietta Place rather than Bolton Street.
Bolton Street College in Dublin was a technical college that existed from 1911 to 1992. It was founded by the Dublin Corporation and was originally located on Bolton Street, Dublin 1. The college later moved to its current campus on Grangegorman Road, Dublin 7.
Bolton Street College offered a wide range of courses, including engineering, architecture, building, and the built environment. It was one of the leading technical colleges in Ireland, and its graduates went on to work in a wide range of industries.
The college was also a center for research and development. It had its own research laboratories, and its staff were involved in a number of important research projects.
Bolton Street College closed in 1992, when it merged with other technical colleges in Dublin to form the Dublin Institute of Technology. However, the Bolton Street campus remains an important part of the DIT, and it continues to be a centre for education and research in the built environment.
The Bolton Street campus is a beautiful and historic building. It was designed by CJ McCarthy and was built in 1908. The building is a three-storey neo-classical structure, and it is decorated with plaster representations of artisan figures. The figures are casts from John Henry Foley’s models for figures at the base of the Albert Memorial on Leinster Lawn.
The Bolton Street campus is home to a number of important facilities, including lecture theatres, laboratories, workshops, a library, and a students’ union. The campus is also home to a number of research centres, including the Centre for Architecture, Building and Environment and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
The legacy of Bolton Street College continues to inspire and motivate people today. The college’s commitment to education and research is still relevant today, and its graduates continue to make a difference in the world.
Here are some notable alumni of Bolton Street College:
Kevin O’Connor, architect and urban planner
Michael Smith, engineer and former CEO of Intel Ireland
Mary O’Brien, engineer and former president of Engineers Ireland
Deirdre Clune, former Minister for Education and Skills
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NINE STOREY APARTMENT HOTEL
IS ABOUT TO BEGIN ON CAPEL STREET
More than twenty years ago there was a Head Shop at 164 Capel Street but it was set on fire.
To quote from court documents: “The facts of the case were that the appellant and another man deliberately set fire to a head shop premises called Nirvana situate at 164 Capel Street, Dublin 1, in the early hours of the 12th of February 2010. The shop specialised in the sale of psychotropic substances which, though now illegal, were legal at the time. in the sale of phototropic substances which were legal at the time. The fire also spread to the two premises on either side of Nirvana, namely to a premises called The Souvenir Seeds Store at 164A Capel Street, which also sold then legal psychotropic substances, and to Utopia at 163 Capel Street which was a sex shop.”
This photograph was taken towards the end of 2022 however nothing really happened until a week or two when a demolition crew arrived to demolish the Dublin Working Mens Club at 33-36 Little Strand Street. I must admit that I was totally unaware of the the building and am not sure if it is being cleared to allow the construction of the new hotel.
[UPDATE] I checked the planning permission documents and the footprint of the hotel includes 162-164 Capel Street and 33-36 Strand Street Little []
In September 2021 An Bord Pleanála disagreed with Dublin City Council’s contention that there were too many hotels in the city centre and awarded permission, following an appeal, to Ringline Investments for a nine-storey, 142-bedroom hotel for Capel Street, in Dublin. The appeals board decision overturned a ruling by the City Council to refuse planning to Ringline for the hotel after expressing concerns about the “existing over-concentration” of hotels in the area.
Some objections were due to the fact that about 2,150 hotel rooms have been permitted in recent years within 350 metres of the site on Capel Street.
Apartment hotel group City ID recently announced the acquisition of a site on Capel Street in Dublin. The latest addition to its brand is the next step in its wider growth strategy across Europe and beyond. Originally the site received full planning permission for 142 bedrooms with food and beverage and meeting facilities and once developed will extend to approximately 5,471 sq m / 58,890 sq ft over 9-storey over basement.
My understanding is that the complex now under construction will operate 104 apartments with a diverse room mix. All apartments will feature fully equipped kitchens and living spaces, suited for short and long stays. The ground floor public area will include an open lobby, a deli, and a bar.
The acquisition of Capel Street adds to its three locations in central Amsterdam and to its latest site in central London’s Victoria district. Together with pension provider APG and Aware Super, City ID is implementing its strategy of international growth. The goal is to invest more than € 1 billion over the next five years to grow its international platform of apartment hotels across major European cities.
