Look guys, this is what you see....why Irish towns and farmhouses are so beautiful? I don't understand?
I'd say the older Irish designs were more based on poverty and possibly some sort of window tax by the look of them than on the aesthetic desires of Irish people. It might be of benefit to hold say an architectural competition to design "new look" Irish buildings, based on Celtic-Gaelic culture and step away from the cloying overhang of the past.

I never suggested anybody should live in mud-hovels- I think your been very rude, and have a bad attitude, i'm just talking about preserving beautiful Ireland
I used to do a lot of business in Yorkshire in England in the 1990s. One of the most striking things you noticed when you drove around the countryside is how new houses and buildings blended in with older, existing buildings. It was a requirement.
What we have in Ireland is a mish-mash of monstrosities. Horrid white plastic looking Roman pillars on bungalows next door to beautiful older houses or historic buildings. Different coloured roofs/slates. Different coloured stonework. Totally different shapes to anything already there. PVC reigns supreme. Some houses you could mistake as space observatories. While taken in isolation they may be nice houses but when viewed from a slight distance beside existing architecture they stand out like Josef Fritzl at a teen disco.
It's a disgusting legacy to the Celtic Tiger. The fact that a lot of them are vacant is even more of an insult. The planners should be shot.
We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner'?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And some of us think those houses look quite nice
Thank you Dios, I would love to see these new designs. Guys Ireland is so beautiful, lets keep it so- once you lose something like that, you don't get it back
Folks who argue in favour of one off developments often talk about supporting rural Ireland but let's be clear here a house every 100 feet along a road is not rural. Sure it's not urban either but it sure as hell ain't countryside. The policy to allow people to build pretty everywhere they like has massive costs to everyone else in terms of the provision of services and I believe will be a millstone around our necks for the next century.
Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.

Whom for? The sunday driver with the camera?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I myself admire space, light and modern amenities, a dry surface on which to park my car.
Thank you MsAnneThrope, this is what I mean to to say. Houses are cool when in the right place, and designed to blend in with the beautiful green fields. Can we keep Ireland beautiful you guys? Or is it too late?
