    Terry Wogan worked in the old bank at Doyle’s corner. An exciting new restaurant is now planned for this iconic building, according to the planning files.

    @Jonny: So not a working class area. It became a run down rental area but was a wealthy area first and now is going up again. It really is going the way of Rathmines

    How did @michfreeman manage to ignore a major prison, hospital, firestation, garda station, bus depot and mcgowans from his piece. Poorly researched and badly written piece.

    What about the White Moose Cafe ? They have done more to highlight the area than most ? Any reason for their omission?

    @Deirdre Coyne Farrelly: I like the look of The Bald Eagle , hopefully they will have a nicer clientele compared to its previous incarnations. I myself will certainly be checking this place out. Looks like they did a fine job.

    Yea and KBC know a lot about data. Maybe they could share the real data behind them ripping off customers…it’s actually pathetic to see all these banks with their “nicey nicey” ad campaigns and sponsorship of articles like this. Maybe they would be better off spending less on this type of trite and actually pass some real benefit to customers…another pathetic excuse for a bank.
