There's no seating under the mirror bit (at the moment anyway). Just a couple of the pubs there have put some seats outside but it's not a huge amount really. Well that's when I saw it about 2 weeks ago.

passed by about 2 hours ago, no seating there yet, still work to be done at the end. Pane of glass is shattered, but there's no impact area on it, may have just been tightened too much.

Gino's is looking great too,but i think id prefer the taxi rank and toilet roll sellers :rolleyes:

It seems from the pic above that the businesses are effectively increasing their floor area by a considerable amount into what was a pedestrian way previously.

Maybe I am misinterpreting the pics ....... but if not will that mean an increase in rates for those businesses?

There is likely a fee per outdoor table or for total area.

So is traffic still flowing up that way? Looking at pictures it seems to be pedestrianized but there seems to be a faint road through it also?

Their Facebook page is advertising the first live gig (free) to be there later in the month. Will hopefully be well organized and could be a great addition to the city!

There is a road through it, though it's not open yet as they're still working on the lower end.

Looks exactly how I thought it would. Badly designed. Badly finished with ****ty cheapo materials. A pure pound shop job. Bravo.

Geronimo must have been on the warpath earlier in the week as there are a few arrows sticking out from the ceiling! The mind boggles!!!

You want a design proposal with material selection and costing posted to you here? On a discussion board? Send me a pm there and we'll discuss fees if you're really interested. Doubt you could afford me though tbh.

To be fair,it was going to be one of those things that can divide the populous!
Because the majority of people don't like, it doesn't make them begrudgers!

All your posts are negative and put down on anything happening in the city, The canopy, Waterford airport etc.

No your fine regarding the proposal and yeah your fees are probably too high for my pocket. Plus the fact the i wouldn't like to take up any of your valuable time from doing other projects.

The thing that annoys me is that people have been slating it since before it was finished and it still isn't finished! Wait til it's done and they have bands playing in there, then we can talk. If they do have additional seating down there with live music and it brings people to the area then, whatever you feel about the looks of it, you can't say that it's not a beneficial asset.

It will be great for spraoi.

Its going to be great once completed and as you said outdoor music and other events. They have lined up numerous events including some big ones and rumour is that Oktoberfest will be there too this year.

Couple morons/whiners (who by and large know sod all about construction, design,what's happening, etc ) on here would be complaining if it was the greatest piece of architecture the world has seen, fair enough, might not be to everyone's taste.wouldn't pay too much heed deiseen.

But what about all the sunbathers who used to folk to the applemarket to soak up the sun!

I remember the good old days, when the applemarket was roof free and you would easily have 500+ people there soaking up the rays!

Also really going to miss the excellent taxi rank that was there and miss the chance of buying a Hi viz vest and a few toilet rolls, not to mention the fake football jerseys!

What a place the applemarket was! It was the ultimate tourist attraction.

lmao. Without even asking you what you do. Id wager I know a damn sight more about design than you ever will Barlow.
Its more a case of join the circle jerk/communal ego massage or be cast a "whiner".

Sadly the urban councils are mostly staffed with similar yes men. Such is the result of paying sub-par salaries.
