Strand Road House Sale - Incinerator Views from inside Quinn house

June 2015.

Why would an architect and former finance minister wait to sell till construction met a milestone?

VANDALISM - DUBLIN BAY SEASHORE - MINISTER QUINNS BEDROOM
The incinerator crew is busy pouring concrete even at 8 PM on a Sunday to foist up 150 foot high external walls - creating an Israeli style  "fact-on-the-ground".  They are half way there in this photo from Ruairi Quinn's bedroom.  Chimneys will be 300 feet, on the seashore.

This is awesome architectural heritage for Yeat's 150 year anniversary just days ahead ahead of Joyce's Bloomsday on Sandymount Strand, now buried under the city dump.  Mr Quinn's house is full of sophisticated artworks including a 1916 poster, a James Connolly image and even a Gaynor painting.



R QUINN PERSPECTIVE


STRAND ROAD HOUSE SALE


Architect and honourable retiring Labour leader Ruairi Quinn met Covanta during the last general election and is now, at the half-way milestone selling his house facing the incinerator, complete with views of the bay destroyed by FF, FG and Labour.  What was the understanding during the election?

The agent says the house is for sale as "The Family is Downsizing.    ... but staying in the area .....".
Significantly "The Family" name carefully omitted.   No answer to incinerator questions.  

If true how come the 2nd Sandymount house is away from the incinerator and about the same size? And what about a house in Galway and perhaps others?

Why would an architect and former finance minister wait to sell till construction met a milestone?
