FRANCIS STREET IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS

I know that I and others have complained about how long it has taken to complete the work on Francis Street but until today I had been unaware that Francis Street has been preserved as a residential area, despite a 1968 traffic study recommending that it be levelled to make way for a route to Drogheda port.

According to the local weather forecast: We’re really at the start of potentially a long cold spell because really this cold weather is set to last all the way through next week. Met Éireann expects sharp frost and icy stretches to set in tonight as temperatures dip to -4C in places.

A Status Yellow freezing fog warning applies for all counties in the Republic of Ireland until midday tomorrow, causing potentially hazardous driving conditions.

Today I used a combination that I have not had the opportunity to use before. I attached an EF [Canon] mount sigma 24-105mm lens to my Sony FE mount FE30 camera body using a Metabones adapter. In reality the combination did not at all well as it was difficult to focus both manually and automatically.

The current development phase at Grangegorman saw the East Quad open in late 2020while the Central Quad began welcoming students in April 2021. The buildings are now fully operational and accommodate 10,000 students. Further to this, three existing buildings have been significantly upgraded and refurbished to offer a range of facilities and services to both students and staff – Lower House, Rathdown House, and Park House.

Grangegorman has beautifully restored a historic part of Dublin City. In keeping with their conservation efforts, TU Dublin is committed to promoting sustainable modes of transport. The Campus is fully pedestrianised, and the use of public transport to access the campus is encouraged.
