<description><![CDATA[Dublin Civic Trust welcomes the decision of An Bord Plean&amp;aacute;la to refuse planning permission for the proposed National Children&amp;rsquo;s Hospital at the Mater site in Dublin 1. While the resulting delay in the drive to improve conditions and services to Ireland&amp;rsquo;s sick children is sorely regrettable, equally, the decision must also be viewed from a broader planning, environmental and architectural heritage perspective. These are important matters that are affected for generations to come by such a major proposal, as much as the clinical decisions made now for children into the future.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dublin Civic Trust has just completed its latest urban vision study focusing on one of Dublin&amp;rsquo;s more forgotten secondary commercial streets: Parnell Street East. This section of the street which runs from O&amp;rsquo;Connell Street to Gardiner Street first developed in the mid 1700s as part of the wider development of the Gardiner Estate in the north city. However, the origins of the street lie further back in time as a medieval road connecting the lands of St. Mary&amp;rsquo;s Abbey to the village of Ballybough and the coast.]]></description>

However the phrase took on quite a different meaning over the past week as many of Dublin&amp;rsquo;s architectural landmarks and historic buildings were illuminated in green for the first time as part of St. Patrick&amp;rsquo;s Festival 2011. Hundreds of sheets of green gels were used to create a festive atmosphere across the city, as familiar sights transformed themselves after dark into eye-catching themed&amp;nbsp;icons.]]></description>
