New toilets in Cahir. A godawful sight

Del.Monte

Absolutely brutal but no more than I would expect from the council. Cahir is a lovely little town but with a coterie of local authority gob****es in control. Whatever happened to the Gerry O'Looney's bar on Church Street?

Still there, known as The Granary. I think ti's far enough away from the toilets to keep some dignity.

Oh. I'm told it's 40c to use the toilet. Not 50. Not 20. Don't know if that's actually true, but you'll have to hold on till you have 2x20c in your pocket to enjoy Jean Luc Picards shuttle toilet if it is.

iPhone.

I'd be too uncomfortable to take a dump, I'd be looking around furtively in case bin laden launched himself from out of the depths of the cave

EDIT - actually if I took a dump on the floor and kicked it outside it'd probably look better than the jacks!!

Lol. And I thought I didn't like it.

They've been taking the proverbial with how long its taking to finish. Feels like they've been at it for 6 months at this stage.

This... it’s taking a ridiculously long time to build them. I’d say the castle came together quicker than that monstrosity

It will cost 40c for a pee when it's open.

From the page on the Tipperary county council site that the pic is from;

" Construction work on the new facility is progressing well and expected to be completed early next year."

That was on November 27.

So they are starting to charge to go for a piss now? Bunch of goofs.

Granted I haven't used those toilets in about 15 years, but that kind of stuff annoys me big time.

Fionn

Sorta looks like the aftermath of a container truck crash! :eek:

anyone know how much it cost??

While I don't like it and it won't age well, people are always resistant to anything new or different.

It's that spirit to try different things that has created the world's great designs.. For every masterpiece/inspiration their will be countless blobs of sh1te and everything in between.

Reminds me of Thomond College, which hasn't a right angle in it and one some award of other in the 1970's (it may have been taken off them after as it was built the wrong way around or so I was lead to believe)

I'll just leave this here

I think the old toilets did need replacing. But not with something that sits in opposition to everything else in a Heritage Town. That building has it's place somewhere, but not alongside a more than 1000 year old building.

Its fairly common with architects, in my very limited experience, that were their is dominant old building rather than try to ape it they contrast it would something supermodern/different. Its common enough when extending an old house for example.

Fake old could have looked even worse.

As Glen Hoddle said after some Coventry lad kicked him around Wembley in a FA Cup final; "it's easier destroy a picture than paint one"!

It would want to have been really terrible to be worse than that.

It will become famous for people to come and see what a disaster can be made of constructing a simple public toilet.

fineso.mom

It's a s**t design for a public toilet......

holystungun9

Maybe the design is to distract peolpe from asking about what it has cost? Oh well.

I don't think it will cost too much. They should have some change out of €2m.

Just looking at it at the weekend. It is supposed to be in the design of The Titanic by any chance?

whisky_galore

It's like a piece of alien spacecraft that fell off or a screwed up attempt at Origami.
Awful thing.

Did Stevie Wonder design it?

Jeepers, I usually take the bypass when I’m going to work, but I went through Cahir today. It’s worse looking they’re getting!

Has it been nominated for this years RIAI Awards? The public award category should best suit it.

Exactly. It’s probably cost three times more than it needed to, for a building that just needs to be clean and functional.

You shouldn't need that to be the criteria for that building being the reason to exist.

They should have gone for 50 cent charge and then got him to do the official opening.
