This property is now in worse condition that it was when I photographed it in January 2022 and the pigeons have returned and there are many of them.

In 2018 I mentioned the following description: This building was in reasonable condition when it went on the market many years ago but over the years it shows signs of neglect and for various reasons it became attractive for pigeons. When I photographed it in 2018 No. 30 on Manor Street with rear access from Shea's Lane the accommodation was described, in the property sections of local papers, as residential over retail requiring extensive works to restore it to a habitable condition.

In October 2020 it was reported, by local media, that an elderly man who faced a civil action for causing a nuisance in his locality by feeding wild pigeons at his home in Dublin has made settlement terms with the council. The feral birds had flocked to a rooftop on Manor Street and had taken up residency. Their droppings on the footpaths and beside homes in Stoneybatter led to locals making complaints.
