Wolfe Tone Park Community
Park Plans (2023)
Dublin City Council Proposal For Wolfe Tone Park
The ten-year campaign for the full reinstatement of Wolfe Tone Park is focused around the restoration of a green space in the city centre that will offer respite to visitors and an important amenity to families living in the locality.
In April 2015 the Wolfe Tone Park Community celebrated the Dublin City Council motion (6056) to fully reinstate the park to it's pre-2001 layout.
Why can't we have this? Our Proposal (Declined, 2015)
However, the park has since been commercialised and the plans for it's restoration appear to have been hijacked. We want our park returned to the people of Dublin, as a park; and not another busy commercial thoroughfare.
Dublin City Council has proposed a design and you are invited to submit your observations (opinion) for the new park layout. This portal has been developed to facilitate your submission. Alternatively, you may submit your observation through the Dublin City Council offices by 4:30pm on Monday, January 23rd. (more information and DCC official documents)
Dublin City Council Proposal (2017)
Dublin City Council Proposal for Wolfe Tone Park (click to enlarge)
More concrete.
Removal of all parking for residents and visitors to the park.
Return of compromised lawn element, even smaller than the failed 2001 design.
No railings.
Removal of plinth seating.
Wide open concrete space for more events.
Shop to remain trading, as Tram Cafe, on the south end of the park. The tram has already grown by six times its original 2016 footprint.
Addition of a new monument along Jervis Street.
Removal of railings separating the park from the Church property.
Removal of most popular assets in the park:
Removal of Bronze Cow.
Removal of headstones from the west side of the park, and relocated behind the tram.
Dublin City Council (DCC) intends to further develop upon the failed 2001 renovation that removed the garden elements and railings from Wolfe Tone Park. DCC proposes to retain all of the concrete paving and introduce more concrete (paving and retention) to the west side of the park.
DCC propose that ALL car parking will be removed from around the park for residents and visitors [04, 09], particularly to those buildings that are without any off-street parking facility. Despite there being no 24-hour parking facility in the area, DCC have not provided any parking alternative for residents or visitors. In reality, this will mean that will have to be home with your car/rental by 7:30pm on week-nights if you want to privately park it nearby. Your car will be available to you again at 7:00am in the private car park. Also, unless your visitors are willing to leave before 7:30pm, they will have to stay overnight or get a taxi home and collect their car the following morning.
While car parking has always been restrictive for residents around the park. Commercial vehicles parking ON the park has always been a bigger problem; and, to our knowledge, not a single fine has been issued despite the infringements been reported. However, visitors and residents are frequently faced with parking fees, fines, and the dreaded clamps.
The western headstones will be uprooted and moved to the south end of the park [08], behind the shop (trading as the tram café). DCC hope to plant some of these headstones in an upright array, depending on their condition. Dublin City Council have not acknowledged their own role in damaging the park assets with their vehicles & events - instead, DCC blames the weather and pedestrians for the broken headstones. We have no confidence in the ability of DCC to maintain or handle the headstones.
A new monument [12] is proposed for the north-east corner of the park (near the Church Bar, opposite McDonald's). It is still undecided what this monument will be.
The bronze cow will be removed to facilitate a small lawn element. Oddly enough, the headstones and bronze cow are the main attraction to the park; neither of which DCC want to feature.
Lawn (Grass) Element
This design features a smaller lawn[11] than the failed 2001 implementation; that lawn was later removed after it was vandalised by a month-long DCC/TV3 event in 2006. This community still awaits the return of the grass to the park, as promised by DCC 10 years ago.
DCC propose to remove the concrete plinth seating [01] in the centre of the park, to create a larger vacant concrete space. While the removal of the concrete plinths is welcome, it was hoped that the park lawns would be restored. A major concern here exists around the hosting of amplified music events that have damaged and plagued the park for the past sixteen years.
Commercial Activity on the Park
DCC misrepresents the impact of the Tram Café on the park [05]. The tram is represented by a narrow tram and only four tables; ignoring the recent southward extension of the business and the fact that seating from the tram extends right into the middle of the park when the weather permits [06]. In fact, the tram has grown in size by approximately six times (x6) its original footprint in less than a year.
It is unclear why a public asset like our park should be surrendered to facilitate this business after a motion was won to fully restore the park. Worryingly, we were assured that the tram is a temporary structure to last a maximum of three years. With this in mind, there is no reason that the tram should appear anywhere on the plans for the new park.
Park Railings
Against local advice, DCC do not propose to return railings to the park [03]. This, we believe, has been another major flaw in 2001 design.
The proposed large open concrete space [02] in the middle of the park has always been a problem and is now to be extended. This will facilitate more unwelcome and antisocial events similar to those that that have already helped to destroy the park.
More details about the proposal can be found on Dublin City Council's own Portal, here.
Community observations: proposed 2017 DCC development of Wolfe Tone Park Design
Time : 2017-01-23 21:06:49
Remark :
The north city centre area generally suffers from a lack of green space when compared to other areas of Dublin. I believe that a return to a more enclosed green space would be a great improvement to this area and an excellent amenity for the growing numbers of young children resident in the area.
Contact details witheld by WolfeTonePark.com
Please restore the park to the way it was in the 90s. As this area of town has very little green space.
The lack of green public open space in our city is reaching critical levels. Recently there has been much focus on the physical and mental health benefits to residents and workers in urban settings where green public spaces are available and accessible. We run the risk of transforming, and not in a positive way!, our city into a concrete corporate space, with little regard for human need. The current proposals do not sufficiently address the question of adequate provision of green space in our city, please note adoption of benchmarks as per Fields In Trust in the current Dublin City Development Plan.
The current proposals do not seem to have sufficiently taken account of the fact that Wolfe Tone park is situated adjacent several inner city residential areas, as well as in the heart of a thriving office and commercial district. All of these communities will benefit from a return to a predominantly green park space.
The provision of a cafe/refreshment amenity in the park may serve to enhance the experience of park visitors, however it must be in keeping with the character. The current Tram Cafe is not suitable in this regard.
The sole objective of this space should be a green public park. Any attempt to also include space for outdoor events, live music etc would take away from its real potential, to provide a space for urban renewal and sustainability.
It is remarkable to note that the area of Wolfe Tone Park has obviously become something undesirable to both locals and visitors alike. Such a new opportunity to recreate a space worthy of our lovely city and reintroduce more grass and greenery to the city centre. Fashionable design just does not work and the lamentable drive towards even more commercialism is to be discouraged. Surely the ethos of a park area is as a respite from the extraordinary volume of commercial activity which already exits within the city. Surely balance is required and it is necessary to promote the city as a living entity,not merely a commercial opportunity. Businesses have very little proper,positive impact on their immediate surrounding areas ,and it is not the business owners who usually live within the city and therefore place real value on the all-to-rare green areas available. Unfortunately things are often the opposite. Please Dublin City Council - take real leadership and the needs of the citizen and city user,not abuser,into account. You have a chance to do the right thing by addressing the failure which currently is Wolfe Tone Park. It was special and can be again. I am more than willing to speak directly with concrete proposals (pun intended) and recommendations.
Nothing in this design will solve any of the issues in and around the park; it appears that little has been learned from the experience of the past 16 years along Jervis Street. In fact, there appears to be less grass returned to the park, and more paving, than the 2001 reveal - that, by DCC admission, has failed.
The park needs to be a contained green space, respectful of its heritage. If the passing public are to respect the assets of Wolfe Tone Park, Dublin City Council needs to begin demonstrating respect and leadership.
Wolfe Tone Park is a public asset of enormous cultural and historical significance. Tourists visit the park in awe at the age of the openly accessible relics while disgusted too by their condition and immediate environment. To others, who have not yet been made aware of its importance, it is a shortcut to pass through on foot, bike, van or motorcycle. And this, we believe, has contributed to the failure of the park.
The years since the railings and grass were removed from the park should serve as a cautionary lesson, and not an embarrassment likely to be repeated.
The tram cafe is not required to be on the park and would be more welcome in any of the smaller vacant yards nearby. We have hundreds of options to get a cup of tea, and a few options to get a real tram, between here and the nearest green space without surrendering the park to commerce.
This community, or visitors to the area, do not require another gimmick imposed on the park; a lawn, benches, trees and shrubs are sufficient.
The restored park should be the destination set aside from, and not the shortcut to, the nearby LUAS stop or busy shopping district.
The proposed layout is very much a Dr Frankenstein incarnation of the previous 2001 design. That design was a monumental failure and Dublin City Council appear to be passing up this opportunity to consign their mistake to an experimental blip in the long life of Wolfe Tone Park.
The area is home to a large and diverse community. People live here, this is home and not just that place you abandon after 5pm. The car parking is also important and any attempt to remove it, to compensate for a considerable trading footprint, demonstrates a bias against long term city dwellers, in favour of short-term renters (eg Air bnb).
More green please! Keep the benches.
To whom it concerns,
I write as a former tenant of an office on Wellington quay, near the park. I have since vacated the city centre, for reasons including the low quantity and poor quality of public space in the city in general, and its parks in particular.
From Wolfe Tone Park, to Merrion Square, and elsewhere there is a clear trend of DCC to aggressively commercialise public space, in the case of Wolfe Tone Park, to the point of part privatisation.
The centre point of the new park, by location in plan, and other dominance, is to be the Tram Cafe. This structure, conceived by the knavery that brought our city so much worse, is ugly in every conceivable way. The park design fails to reorganise the disparate elements of design into a coherent whole. The new park is to have the character of a corporate plaza, rather than a public space.
It is not to be permeable, because it will have no edge, the lack of threshold to the park will merely denote the lack of development of any space of any distinct character, rather than a successful attempt to blend the boundary from one urban condition to the next.
The large gathering space in the centre of the park will accommodate the markets favoured by council management, along with loud events tents, and spillover from the venue known as the church.
I write to object to this proposal.
Conor McGowan SIA, MIEI, MRIAI
Dublin City Council are determined to make the city centre as unwelcoming and as uncomfortable as possible.
No green spaces, no where to sit or relax or just enjoy our city. Get in shop spend money and then please sod off and go home. The only wildlife that will be accommodated will be the pigeons and the junkies/drunks.
Like the developers of Ireland DCC wont be happy till they concrete over the whole city and homogenised every street till it all looks like some poxy out of town shopping centre in some poxy American city. The message is clear this city belongs to starbucks in the daytime and the scum at night , we as residents are just the mugs who pay St Tropez prices to live in what's slowly becoming a cess pit t hanks to DCC Tenants. Anything of interest will be eradicated through a combination of exorbitant rates and deliberate neglect.
I want to live in a city where quality of life, air quality, wildlife and beautiful spaces take precedence over commerce & greed.
If this plan is aloud to happen then Dublin is lost and all the will be left will be the shopping centres and the junkies.
I believe that the lack of greenery in this area is extremely unhealthy for residents. Also while I agree with encouraging people to use public transport to access the city rather than drive, this should be done by making public transport cheaper with enhanced routes, not by removing parking spaces. It also needs to be bourn in mind that a huge number of people live in the city and these people need to be able to park their own cars within the vicinity of their homes. I'd be interested to hear Dublin City Council's suggestion on where a city resident should park when trying to move all of their belongings into or out of an apartment? Not all residents of the city are young, fully mobile, single adults; young families, elderly and physically disabled people need to be considered.
Please stop this, we have plenty of concrete already. This is the Emerald Isle lets keep it that way.
i would like to see the tram cafe remove from wolfe tone park and also stop events in the park too with the loud music as it caused alot of noise to the residents in the area
and also the council need to do something about the anti social behavior in the wolfe tone park wit drug addicts fighting and also drug addicts/kids kicking the birds in the park and also the council needs to do something about the church nightclub wit the nightclub/beer garden to noisy wit loud music thumping all over the street and the council needs to put a end to it.
,br>there is students with skatebords and they get the skateboards and lift it up onto the seats when people is sitting down and its very noisey and these people dont care at all and we need the community police around wolfe tone st and the park more often
I believe there is absolutely no need for more commercial sites in this part of the city.
The park is a desperately-needed zone where people can escape from the shops.
Within a 1km walk any direction from Wolfe Tone Square, there is NO green space for residents, workers or shoppers to take a break and sit in a beautiful green space - HOWEVER - south of the Liffey, the Grafton Street shopping area residents and users have beautiful St Stephens Green. This is a crying shame that clearly needs to be rectified. The current plan does not address this.Wolfe Tone Park needs to be a recognisably a park space rather than a commercial space for the DCC to make money with. The needs of locals, workers, shoppers should be put first not a very poor second. (In fact on Google maps - Wolfe Tone Park is referred to only as Wolfe Tone Square (as it is NOT a green space) - THIS IS NOT RIGHT...it needs to be green! We all need more outdoor green space within easy access ... and Wolfe Tone Park IS ours. It SHOULD be there to serve us as a place to rest and enjoy. IT SHOULD NOT EVER BE CONSIDERED AS PRIMARILY A MONEY MAKING TOOL FOR DCC. These plans need serious revisions to facilitate proper use of a park space.
Regarding the coffee shop - I believe it needs a limited footprint - however I have absolutely no problem with a good value coffee shop that's well maintained being leased. In fact, I think good value cafe's that looks interesting can add greatly to a park space. I've only recently returned to Ireland after 25 years abroad - so I've really seen and experienced the value of a well maintained park space that benefits from good value coffee shops (and restaurants in bigger places).
Regarding the current design being put forward - the limited planting design is extremely ugly and more suited to an open space between newly built sky scrapers! I understand that 'organised' seasonal planting (as in St Stephen's Green) is expensive to manage annually - however, there are plenty of low maintenance planting options that could really work well - for example, path walks with benches that nicely weave between and trees and flowering shrubs would be far more appropriate (and create walking space within its limited space). Regarding the railing, I have no problem with no railings at all.
Regarding the Square's designer - I do not want to insult them for I am sure the designer met the brief of what they were asked to do - it's I just cannot agree with the brief they were given. That's because it seems more suited to attracting commercial opportunities - rather than to focus on the needs of the community (workers, residents and tourists alike). Our needs for green space have hardly been addressed.
Regarding the Brass Cow - I love it!
FINALLY AS THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY GREEN SPACE WITHIN 1km of North Dublin's Main Shopping Area (Jervis Street and Mary Street - MAKE IT COUNT AND GIVE US A PARK WE ARE PROUD OF!
The park nowadays has become a horrible unused spot.
Seeing a picture of what it was before 2001, one wonders why would any decision makers doubt at all in bringing that glory back to the present, and capitalise on it.
New park proposal is terrible.
I would like Wolfe Tone Park to have a playground for kids like Stephen Green, Marrion Square, St Patrick Garden and many others.
It should have railings and consider different ages but more focus on small kids.
I would love to see the park be restored to what it looked like in the past. It could be such a great space if it hadn't been converted into a concrete jungle. I would love to see the park turned into a garden like it was before, it would be a much better use of the space than what has been planned for it.
Having lived in the area for over 15 years it's a shame to see how the once beautiful facility of the park has been constantly eroded to the half paved half dirt backyard it is today.
Gone are the native trees, lawns and railings which once formed the park and complemented the historic buildings it is surrounded by. If only the structure of the park had been protected as the buildings are.
Instead of being a landmark and area of beauty within a residential part of city it has been sadly transformed into a cold, open space which is no longer in keeping with its surroundings and seems to only serve commercial interests. The most recent development of a long term commercial structure in the form of the Tram Cafe appears set to become a permanent feature despite objections from residents who are impacted by the sound and light pollution it generates, an ever growing footprint and the loss of amenity that is the park. From the travelling sales platforms, to the late night spiegeltents it seems that instead of being a public amenity the park which bears the name of one of our historic leaders has in recent years been seen as nothing more than a cash cow.
I fail to see why DCC will not return this park to an actual park.
The cafe with its hideous neon lights is so offensive when you walk by at night time.
There is no comparison between the park as it was originally and everyone who lived and worked in the city used it. There is so little actual real green space anywhere near here and putting horrible metal planters sporadically around the City from Grafton St to Thomas Street does only adds obstacles and is not a substitute for actual green space.
The newly proposed park design is so so bad, lifeless, grey, cold, uninviting.
Cities all over the country are being given these sterile spaces with bad blue and led lighting, leaving no individuality just creating mass concrete plazas.
Wolfe Tone park is such an important historical park (graveyard, church) connected to one of our most important leaders.
It seems like an act of utter vandalism to allow the environment office anywhere need this park with such a horrendous plan.
Disgrace, shame and a disgrace
Observation :
Yes, I object to how DCC have designed & maintained Wolfe Tone Park.
Yes, I object to the Tram Cafe trading on the park.
Yes, I would like grass returned to the park.
Yes, I would like railings returned to the park.
Yes, I would like the park to remain a non-commercial public asset.
Yes, I object to the sale or rent of the park for private enterprise.
I know, it's dreadful. Game of Thrones theme tune on a loop earlier. Then talent-less karaoke for the evening. I asked earlier to have the noise turned down but, as always, it creeps back up. DCC have apparently awarded a permit for this. Well, according to the tram people.
please make the loud music stop. Why is this back here?
Yes, I object to all amplified music events in the park.
Yes, I object to the noise levels and want the music stopped.
ffs. are dcc getting these complaints? this shit from the tram is a total rubbish. way too loud. i thought this was sorted??????
Hurry up already
I am disgusted by the rapacious commercial vandalism proposed for Wolfe Tone Park. Dublin city badly needs more green spaces, not yet another slab of ugly, desolate concrete.
I played often in that park as a child who lived nearby, and was saddened to see that small patch of greenery removed from the concrete jungle that Dublin has become.
There are very few areas on the north side city centre where one can relax and sit.
Wolfe tone park at present is not confortable, pleasant or attractive and should be restored to its previous form.
What a dump
I was born and raised in Jervis st.
and used Wolf Tone Park or as it was known
as the Church Yard locally .my Mother was
born in Wolf Tone St.or Stafford St.and our house still stands today.
There could be a café but it should be, above all, a public space and the grass should be restored. We need more green areas in the city centre.
By any matrix of what a successful public park is comprised of, Wolfe Tone Park can only be seen as a failure. It is not comfortable, visible, popular, peaceful nor attractive. Its current form is an inappropriate and seemingly accidental attempt at creating an urban plaza (despite the intention for half of it to be covered in grass) and the Park lack the presence of active edges to the surrounding buildings.
While many of the buildings that surround Wolfe Tone Park are Protected Structures, it is imperative that the Council seek to increase the amount of doors and windows that engage with the public realm outside. The introduction of ground floor active uses such as retail and café/restaurant uses that engage and activate the space outside the buildings is imperative for increasing the footfall on the streets that surround the Park. These measures will contribute majorly to the reduction of anti-social behaviour in the Park.
In what may have been conceptualised as a compensatory measure, there have been recent moves to introduce a Tram Café on the southern end of the Park. While the stimulation this may have sought to bring to the Park is admirable, in effect the colonisation of public space (the café and extended seating area would take up a large area of the Park) for private commercial gain would be a very retrograde step.
I understand that the Council are seeking to address this very same issue in Temple Bar Square (a different context yet similar potential conflict), where private businesses have essentially taken over a vast proportion of the square, by surrounding the spaces with Perspex barriers to accommodate their tables and chairs.
Why is this seen as inappropriate in Temple Bar Square yet appropriate at Wolfe Tone Park?
More effort should be made to engage the café on the south facing side of the Church building with the Park, by encouraging an access point from the café into the park. Comfortable public seating could be provided in the park (not by the private business) which patrons of the café would be enticed to use, thereby improving the patronage and use of Wolfe Tone Park.
The Council should move to removes the plans for the Tram Café immediately and initiate moves for the meaningful improvement of the park to encourage its greater use for residents, workers and visitors to the area.
The inner city now more than ever, needs the quiet meditative green space that this park once provided. I think, it should be restored to its former glory.
The "urban beach" is an architectural abuse of language. It has produced a public space of the worst possible quality in an important part of our city. A non-space, without architectural or other qualities, of the type that will naturally begin to loose its open, public character, and be commercialised in the most crass way imaginable. C
Who on earth has allowed the park become the kip it is today? The same people sticking a shop on it, I suppose.
There are lots of coffee shops around. And trams too!!!! Is a park too difficult for dublin council?
We have hundreds of options to get a cup of tea, and a few options to get a real tram, between here and the nearest park.
Just give us back our park.
Yes, I would like Wolfe Tone Park to remain a non-commercial public asset.
Yes, I object to the Tram Cafe private enterprise trading on the park.
Yes, I object to private interests taking over the park.
Yes, I object to the late shows.
Yes, I object to the congregation of crowds in the park after the show.
Yes, I object to the Spiegeltent noise levels and want the music stopped.
22.22h, Sunday. They noise at this time is unbelievable. This festival is against our right to be able to rest. Tomorrow is Monday and most of us have to work. I see there are people who does not know what that means.
I would like to know how we are going to be compensated for this unbearable noise.
the noise from the fringe festival is so loud i cant sleep at night and its keeping tenants awake and i want the music to stop and i want the council to do something about it and no more festival in wolfe tone park
Tonight the disruption caused by the event is reaching a whole new level, the only sounds coming from the tent are a constant bass beat which exceeds any levels of noise previously reported. It's so loud that the vibrations can be felt in the floor of the apartment even though it's ~6 stories above. At this point I'm seriously considering wearing earplugs as the drone is insufferable. I think it's clear that the fringe festival has no intention of complying with any volume restrictions, DCC is incapable of enforcing the terms of any license granted and neither party has any regard for the residents who have consistently suffered as a result of this event.
The levels of noise coming from this event continue to be a major source of disturbance. Tonight the "music" blaring from the tent was so loud that even with the apartment windows sealed and curtains drawn it continued to dominate over anything else. I also don't see how it could be considered high quality as it consisted of thumping bass beats, banging of benches and generally sounded like it belonged at a rave or football match. The periods of the disturbance also appears to be growing, not only is it the performances all evening, sound checks all afternoon but now also includes early morning pumps and motors as portaloos etc are serviced. It is turning into a 24h site with the levels of disturbance similar to a large music festival. Yet instead of being in the middle of the countryside where it won't disturb people it's in the middle of a high density residential area. Through coincidence I've stayed at hotels twice over the past week but the sad element is that I've actually found myself looking forward to getting away from the disruption. I think that simple measurement sums up the level of disruption this event is causing and why they cannot happen again.
Tonight was the loudest night of the festival. The bass coming from the tent reverberated through the building structure. It is completely unacceptable in a residential area. It sounded more like a construction site than a festival. In fact, the ongoing daytime construction works in the Leprechaun Museum cause less of a disturbance than the Spiegeltent tonight.
Noise on Sept 17th at 21:40 completely unacceptable and inconsiderate of residents.
I have no problem with the event. Its only running for little over a week. We are a country of Arts & Culture. If we cannot support the arts in our own country & more importantly our community, how are we expected to sell our culture around the world. I have found the organisers & visiting public to be both friendly and respectful. The music is no louder than the passing traffic and it is always finished by 11pm. Stop the moaning and support the arts. The circus show is brilliant By the way, I mentioned I was a resident and they gave me a ticket at 50% off. Can't beat that.
It is unbelievable that a council of a European capital city allows this to happen just in front of an apartments building. This is what we pay our taxes for? This is absolutely unacceptable. If they like the noise, they should put it in front of their house.
Apartment uninhabitable because of the Festival noise in the park.
I am a nurse who works 12 hour shifts meaning I have to wake up at 6am each morning. The music goes on until midnight most nights and I am unable to fall asleep at 10pm when I usually sleep. I am tired and exhausted at work due to lack of sleep.
What's the name of the person who gave the permission to hold this DFF event?
Does he/she live in this area...?
Is there a Noise Risk Assessment form filled out (which is HSE regulation, I believe) or the DCC just relied on the words of the DFF, that "the event is causing minimal impact on the neighbours"?
There was a big news about the new law by DCC regarding to Street Performers...and they were forced to keep the noise down under 80 decibel effective from this April. So, why can the DFF make such a loud music which is much higher than 80dB even after 11pm? Is there no control at all?
By the way, the concert was finished ... there was a very disturbing noise (yelling, shouting) from a group of people who were leaving the concert.
Dear Sir/Madam, The music was so loud last night (Thursday 10 Sept.) that it was impossible to sleep and it lasted until 11pm!!. We rang the Garda but they said that you have a permission and they can't do anything. The volume of the music is far too loud in such a small area like this where many residents around. We slept 5 hours last night, my husband had an early shift today, I had an exam to sit...Can you imagine how exhausted we are? Please keep down the volume in the future! It's very unlikely that the very loud music will bring more people to your events. Thank you for your time and consideration. Regards ** ** ** and ** ** (Wolfe Tone residents for 7 years)
The sound checks currently taking place during the business day are at an excessive level and are causing disruption. This continues to show that this is not a suitable arena for such an event. The limited sound insulation provided by the tent effectively means it's an open air amplified event taking place in a residential area which is causing periodic disruption to both business and residents by day and sustained disruption to residents at night .
Sound checks on Sep 10th and event that evening are excessively loud. After closing windows and drapes to muffle the sound as far as possible the level is still intolerable. My occupation involves spending the majority of the day on phone calls and at multiple times I found that the noise from the tent prevented me from doing so effectively. Even when watching TV the noise from the tent frequently dominates.
Observations about the condition of the existing park and proposed DCC re-development.
Just some of the submissions regarding the latest DCC Design Proposal for the park.
Remark : The north city centre area generally suffers from a lack of green space when compared to other areas of Dublin. I believe that a return to a more enclosed green space would be a great improvement to this area and an excellent amenity for the growing numbers of young children resident in the area....more
Remark : Please restore the park to the way it was in the 90s. As this area of town has very little green space....more
Remark : The lack of green public open space in our city is reaching critical levels. Recently there has been much focus on the physical and mental health benefits to residents and workers in urban settings where green public spaces are available and accessible. We run the risk of transforming, and not in a positive way!, our city into a concrete corporate space, with little regard for human need. The current proposals do not sufficiently address the question of adequate provision of green space in our city, please note adoption of benchmarks as per Fields In Trust in the current Dublin City Development Plan.
The current proposals do not seem to have sufficiently taken account of the fact that Wolfe Tone park is situated adjacent several inne...more
Remark : It is remarkable to note that the area of Wolfe Tone Park has obviously become something undesirable to both locals and visitors alike. Such a new opportunity to recreate a space worthy of our lovely city and reintroduce more grass and greenery to the city centre. Fashionable design just does not work and the lamentable drive towards even more commercialism is to be discouraged. Surely the ethos of a park area is as a respite from the extraordinary volume of commercial activity which already exits within the city. Surely balance is required and it is necessary to promote the city as a living entity,not merely a commercial opportunity. Businesses have very little proper,positive impact on their immediate surrounding areas ,and it is not the...more
Remark : Nothing in this design will solve any of the issues in and around the park; it appears that little has been learned from the experience of the past 16 years along Jervis Street. In fact, there appears to be less grass returned to the park, and more paving, than the 2001 reveal - that, by DCC admission, has failed.
Wolfe Tone Park is a public asset of enormous cultural and historical significance. Tourists visit the park in awe at the age of the openly accessible relics while disgusted too by th...more
Remark : More green please! Keep the benches....more
Remark : To whom it concerns,
The centre point of the new park, by location in plan, and other dominance, is to be the Tram Cafe. This structure, conceived by the knavery that brought our city so much worse, is ugly in every conceivable way. The park design fails to reorganise the dispara...more
Remark : Dublin City Council are determined to make the city centre as unwelcoming and as uncomfortable as possible.
Like the developers of Ireland DCC wont be happy till they concrete over the whole city and homogenised every street till it all looks like some poxy out of town shopping centre in some poxy American city. The message is clear this city belongs to starbucks in the daytime and the scum at night , we as residents are just the mugs who pay St Tropez prices to live in what's slowly becoming a cess pit t hanks to DCC Te...more
Remark : I believe that the lack of greenery in this area is extremely unhealthy for residents. Also while I agree with encouraging people to use public transport to access the city rather than drive, this should be done by making public transport cheaper with enhanced routes, not by removing parking spaces. It also needs to be bourn in mind that a huge number of people live in the city and these people need to be able to park their own cars within the vicinity of their homes. I'd be interested to hear Dublin City Council's suggestion on where a city resident should park when trying to move all of their belongings into or out of an apartment? Not all residents of the city are young, fully mobile, single adults; young families, elderly and physically...more
Remark : Please stop this, we have plenty of concrete already. This is the Emerald Isle lets keep it that way....more
Remark : i would like to see the tram cafe remove from wolfe tone park and also stop events in the park too with the loud music as it caused alot of noise to the residents in the area
,br>there is students with skatebords and they get the skateboards and lift it up onto the seats when people is sitting down and its very noisey and these people dont care at all and we n...more
Remark : I believe there is absolutely no need for more commercial sites in this part of the city.
The park is a desperately-needed zone where people can escape from the shops....more
Remark : Within a 1km walk any direction from Wolfe Tone Square, there is NO green space for residents, workers or shoppers to take a break and sit in a beautiful green space - HOWEVER - south of the Liffey, the Grafton Street shopping area residents and users have beautiful St Stephens Green. This is a crying shame that clearly needs to be rectified. The current plan does not address this.Wolfe Tone Park needs to be a recognisably a park space rather than a commercial space for the DCC to make money with. The needs of locals, workers, shoppers should be put first not a very poor second. (In fact on Google maps - Wolfe Tone Park is referred to only as Wolfe Tone Square (as it is NOT a green space) - THIS IS NOT RIGHT...it needs to be green! We all n...more
Remark : The park nowadays has become a horrible unused spot.
Seeing a picture of what it was before 2001, one wonders why would any decision makers doubt at all in bringing that glory back to the present, and capitalise on it....more
Remark : New park proposal is terrible....more
Remark : I would like Wolfe Tone Park to have a playground for kids like Stephen Green, Marrion Square, St Patrick Garden and many others.
It should have railings and consider different ages but more focus on small kids....more
Remark : I would love to see the park be restored to what it looked like in the past. It could be such a great space if it hadn't been converted into a concrete jungle. I would love to see the park turned into a garden like it was before, it would be a much better use of the space than what has been planned for it....more
Remark : Having lived in the area for over 15 years it's a shame to see how the once beautiful facility of the park has been constantly eroded to the half paved half dirt backyard it is today.
Instead of being a landmark and area of beauty within a residential part of city it has been sadly transformed into a cold, open space which is no longer in keeping with its surroundings and seems to only serve commercial interests. The most recent development of a long term commercial structure in the form of the Tram Cafe appears set t...more
Remark : I fail to see why DCC will not return this park to an actual park.
Cities all over the country are being given these sterile spaces with bad blue and led lighting, leaving no individuality just cr...more

The Battle Continues Over The Future Of Wolfe Tone Park
In recent months, the Wolfe Tone Park community has upped its campaign to have the cold, concrete space returned to its previous state: a pleasant, welcoming green oasis for the city. And so far, the group – which is made up of residents of the Wolfe Tone Street/Jervis Street area – has had some success. more »

But are DCC capable of appropriately redeveloping the park; and, can they be trusted to? more »
A Community Group Struggles To Revive Wolfe Tone Park

Architecture & Landscape Design
Service > Beautiful Intelligence
Except has worked in the field of sustainable architecture since 1999. Our portfolio includes typologies as diverse as private homes, museums, and mixed-use commercial real estate, from strategy and concept to the design of buildings, landscapes and interiors.
What matters to us most is the value the design brings to the people that use it: aesthetic, cultural, economical and functional. These are captured in our fundamental sustainability approach, which goes beyond energy and material issues to include new social, ecological, and economic models.
Except's multi-disciplinary structure allows environmental scientists to work side by side with designers and planners in order to maximize all these areas, and deliver beautiful, inspiring environments that work.
Reconnecting architecture with people
Our close collaboration with partners and the client during the entire process results in architecture that performs better, looks better, provides better returns and pioneers sustainable development.
We develop spaces for people, that are healthy, enjoyable and inspiring, that work with the best parts of nature and realistic long term value. We see ourselves as managers of the built environment rather than just the designers of new buildings.
Areas of architecture we work in:
Adaptive building redevelopment
Mixed use buildings (offices/retail/residential/cultural...)
Educational buidlings
Cultural functions and museums
Temporary spaces and installations
We have experience in developing architecture in the United States, Canada, Netherlands, China, Australia and Italy.
We work closely with you to make sure you'll get a design that is exciting and beautiful, and embeds the most advanced sustainability knowledge in the process.
Using the knowledge from our sustainability scientists and experts, our work puts itself at the forefront of sustainable design. With over a decade of experience with sustainable technologies, materials and design principles, we can explore a wide variety of design options, including embedded ecosystems, energy producing buildings and local craftmanship.
Except organizes and aligns parties throughout the construction chain using Integrated Project Methods, and a number of eco-design tools including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and energy and thermal anlysis.
If desired, we can design buidings certified according to international eco-standards including BREEAM and LEED. We go beyond these standards in all our designs in fundamental sustainability, while making sure the building creates long term cultural and economic value.
Sustainable Office Interior
Except's sustainable work space
To demonstrate that a sustainable office interior can be exciting, affordable, and very practical we decided to make our own work space an example of just that.
The Except office in Rotterdam is located in a restored office building, which had previously stood empty for over a decade. Our renovation process brought together new ideas about collaboration, innovative material use, and exciting design.
Rome Apartment Building
New Architecture in the heart of old Rome
The Daadkracht project is the design of a four story mixed-use building in the heart of the old city of Rome, offering three spectacular apartments, shops, and a restaurant. Part of the design is a city park bordering the Tevere river, a church and various other historical buildings.
The project presented a unique opportunity to design the first new non-cultural edifice in Rome after Mussolini. To honour this event, an extensive study into the history of Rome, both its ancient past, turn of the century socio-cultural and political developments and modern developments were used as a driving force behind the design of this building.
Shanghai Urban Masterplan
Urban Masterplan embedding Vertical Agriculture
This masterplan transforms downtown Shanghai into a fully sustainable community, in energy, food, water, and jobs, designed for Expo 2013. The plan strategically interweaves sustainable innovation with exciting urban design, and making it run with urban agriculture, sustainable technologies and vertical farms. The result is a valuable and beautiful urban community, an emergent circular economy, and a future-proof investment.
The Shanghai urban master plan demonstrates the Urban Renaissance approach on a specific site adjacent to Nanjing road, incorportating a historic Lilong housing district.
Desert House in Kalgoorlie, Australia
Designed in 2001, this house was beyond its time in providing an affordable, sustainable habitat that could be aggregated in various patterns in a new suburb of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Drawing on traditional moorish and middle-eastern architectural types, the house features a wind tower that helps to extract hot air from the house in a natural way. The orientation towards the sun, passive solar principles, use of geothermal and solar energy provide all the cooling, heating and electricity for the house, make it a very sustainable design before its time, while remaining affordable, and with unique architectural qualities. The house does not have a specific site, and is largely pre-fabricated construction.
BKCity Slim Refurbishment
Sustainable Renovation of TUDelft's Architecture Faculty
BKCity is a magnificent listed monument of more than 30.000m2 functioning as the faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft. Except created a phased plan to make this historic educational building energy and carbon neutral within ten years.
The plan converts the building into a didactic tool that puts sustainability at the heart of education for generations of architects, introducing a unique in-building ecosystem that provides an inspiring environment, functional qualities and cost savings.
Centrum: Spiritual Center
Sacred Chapel in Toronto, Canada
On the steep slope of one of the edges of Toronto's ravine system we created a place for contemplation, introspection and shared spiritual expression. A place with no prescribed belief, where people of all walks of life can experience what is sacred to them in their own way.
The project introduces a unique ecological approach to its site, significantly contributing to the ecosystem of Toronto's ravine system.
Merredin Health Industries Spirulina Plant
Rural Regeneration Algae plant
The Merredin Spirulina plant, developed in the year 2000, is one of the first projects in which we applied systems thinking and our holistic, systemic approach to innovation, using ecology as a main component.
The result is a highly unusual but stunningly effective business case for a sustainable, ecological industry to revive a desert town in Australia.
This project is a testament to the strength of holistic, systemic approaches. For this reason, we documented the project extensively on this page, indluing the conception process, business case and design of the plant. For more detail, feel free to contact us.
Crystal Forest Office
Zero-Energy Warehouse Retrofit
This exciting office-jungle in a glass cocoon is an energy-neutral plug-in retrofit for empty industrial real-estate. It integrates all facilities and luxuries an exciting co-operative office environment can wish for today.
The Crystal Forest is a modular system that can be built and removed quickly on virtually any location, is entirely self-contained, and offers a feasible business case for a wide variety of real estate challenges, including adaptive re-use of industrial hertiage.
Elst forest villa renovation
Energy and water neutral circular house renovation
For the Beije family we developed a high performance energy and water neutral villa renovation concept. It sits at the edge of the forest in Elst, part of the Veluwe national park area. The 400m2 villa is mostly reconstructed by the hands of the family themselves, utilizing natural and local materials, among which a straw roof. The villa's design makes optimal use of the existing structure and surroundings. It results in a sleek and subtle, comfortable and high-performance modern living experience in a superb setting, and a future-proof long term investment for the family.

This is why some have made translations of the bible with Muslims in mind, changing the way things are worded while keeping the meaning intact. Missionaries have seen a great increase in receptivity from those with Muslim backgrounds by using these translations.
Others object, saying that only the term "son" can fully capture the relationship of God The Father to Jesus, and that we shouldn't stray from the truth and mislead Muslims in order not to offend them.
Christians generally don't believe that God inseminated Mary through normal means. It is commonly believed that Jesus was conceived through supernatural means. Western languages just happen to use the word "son", since that is what we are used to. If everyone in the world was fluent in first-century Aramaic, there wouldn't have to be different translations. Why would any Christian insist on telling Muslims something that they themselves don't believe? This is a ridiculous debate. I refuse to argue semantics. I will use whatever words I have to for my readers and listeners to understand me. This is the understanding project, after all.
Don't let language be a barrier. Stop arguing semantics!
This is why I call myself a post-creedal follower of Christ.
I replied to you over at Solomon's blog. I hope you can check out my blog, "A New Kind of Third Party" and help me to share some of my ideas with others.
Did you get why I ranked IRV higher? I want to make sure we understand each other. The conditions when Condorcet does best are not usually in place with most political elections.
Plus, IRV can be improved by disregarding the rankings in a first stage that determines three finalists.

Flat ownership bill may come up in Odisha assembly
The Odisha Apartment Ownership (Amendment) Bill, 2015, is a crucial piece of legislation to streamline community living amid the mushrooming of apartments in the cities.August 19, 2015, 13:55 IST
BHUBANESWAR: The long-awaited bill to amend the Odisha Apartment Ownership Act, 1982, is scheduled to come up in the assembly during the monsoon session, which started on Tuesday.
The bill will make formation of association of apartment owners (AAOs) a compulsory and time-bound process .
The Odisha Apartment Ownership (Amendment) Bill, 2015, is a crucial piece of legislation to streamline community living amid the mushrooming of apartments in the cities.
According to the amendment bill, the developers have to submit an undertaking in a prescribed form (to the appropriate government authorities) to form AAOs.
The declaration has to be made before construction of any apartment to be used for residence, office or trade. They also have to spell out transfer of right, title and interest in the property within such period as specified in the undertaking. The AAOs should be registered under the Registration of Societies Act, 1860.
The developers also have to declare whether the land is leasehold or freehold making it transparent for the prospective buyers.
Real estate market insiders feel the proposed changes would come as a breather for home buyers. The developers have a tendency to retain control over the apartments as long as possible. Hundreds of apartments in Bhubaneswar don't have registered AAOs.
"The mandatory provision will protect buyers' interest and nail the black sheep in the real estate sector," said Pradipta Biswasroy, president of Real Estate Developers Association of Odisha (Reda).
The buyers of properties have to be compulsory members of the AAOs and abide by the bylaws.
The buyers not obeying the apartment rules and developers contravening the provisions of the amended Act would face fine up to Rs 1 lakh (compared to Rs 5,000 in the existing law).
Though the existing Act has the provision to form AAOs, it has not specified when it should be formed and under whose initiative. As a result, many developers choose to skip it, said an insider.
The cabinet had approved the draft amendment, (first mooted in 2011), during the last term of the government on December 20, 2013.
The state government had engaged CRISIL, a policy advisory company, to help making the required changes in the apartment ownership Act.
The CRISIL had done a comparison of apartment ownership Acts of Maharashtra, Bihar and Odisha before preparing the draft.

Chief Guterres Says UN Budget Is In Deficit, Warns of Consequences
Edwin Haroldson
Letter sent to member states by António Guterres reveals $139m deficit in core budget
António Guterres, the UN secretary general, has warned that the organisation is facing an unprecedented shortage of funding for its core budget and will need to make urgent cuts unless member states pay up.
The alarm was raised in letters, seen by the Guardian and other news organisations, sent by Guterres to member states and staff.
Guterres told member states that the UN's core budget was in the red more deeply and earlier in its financial year than it had ever previously experienced.
He added that, as of 30 June, core funding had a deficit of $139m (£106m), and said the UN had "never faced such a difficult cash flow situation this early in the calendar year".
In a second letter sent to staff, seen by the Guardian, Guterres underlined the UN's precarious finances.
"Caused primarily by the delayed contributions of member states to the regular budget, this new cash shortfall is unlike those we have experienced previously," he wrote, warning the funding crisis posed a risk both to the organisation's operations and "reputation".
"Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning: we are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer," wrote Guterres.
"An organisation such as ours should not have to suffer repeated brushes with bankruptcy. But surely, the greater pain is felt by those we serve when we cannot, for want of modest funds, answer their call for help. Guterres wrote.
The UN general assembly budget committee agreed in December on a $5.4bn core UN budget for 2018-19, which US ambassador Nikki Haley said was a cut of $285m from 2016-17. UN peacekeeping is funded separately.
According to the UN, 112 out of 193 member states have so far paid their share of the core budget. The US, which is responsible for 22% of the budget, traditionally pays later because of its budget year.
The countries that have so far failed to pay include the US, Argentina, Syria, Venezuela and Belarus.
By July last year, 116 countries had paid, compared with 98 in 2016. China, France, Russia and Britain – the permanent members of the UN security council along with the US – are all paid up for 2018.
Guterres told staff he was concerned with a broader trend. "We are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer," he said, adding that the UN would take measures to reduce expenses with a focus on non-staff costs.
Haley came to the UN in January last year pushing for reform of the world body in a bid to cut costs.
"The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known. We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked," she said in December, when the core budget was agreed.
Under UN rules, if a country is in arrears by an amount that equals or exceeds the contributions due for the previous two years, it can lose its general assembly vote unless able to show that its inability to pay is beyond its control.
Comoros, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia are significantly in arrears but have been allowed to retain their vote. Only Libya is unable to vote.

Portal vocabularies are used to define categories to describe content in Plumi, such as video topics, video genres and submission categories. A vocabulary term is set up for that category, and then a collection is created to reference items with that category. A collection is what was previously known in Plone as a smart folder, a folder that displays dynamic content based on a set of criteria.
There are two methods available for adding a new video topic (also known as video category), video genre or callout category (also known as submission category). You can either set these up BEFORE or AFTER installation of Plumi. Setting these up before installing is a little easier, but both methods are listed below.
Checkout the Plumi buildout as per the instructions in the installation chapter. Before running the buildout, execute the following process (between steps 2 and 3).
Here you can view the dictionary vocab_set.
Video categories correspond to video topics. Video genres correspond to video genres. Submission categories correspond to callout categories.
To delete a submission category, video category or video genre, just delete the line corresponding to that entry.
To add an entry just enter a new line e.g.
Continue the installation process from Step 3. When you install Plumi, the categories/genres you have defined will be created.
To make changes to the portal vocabularies, you must log into your Plumi site using the Admin account, or any user with the Manager role. Modifying the portal vocabularies after you have already installed Plumi requires a little more work.
Note: configuration of vocabulary terms and collections happens in special places within the normal Plone (Plumi) user interface, not in the ZMI (Zope Management Interface) and not in site setup.
Also note: an easier way to do this quickly would be to edit (or copy and paste) an existing vocabulary term, and an existing collection. In particular, setting collections up with criteria can be confusing at first, so in some way editing (or copying and pasting) an existing collection could be simpler, and give you greater chance of success. Please read through the full process below to get an idea of how these are set up, and then choose to edit existing items if you prefer.
Go to /portal_vocabularies, select category/genre/submission and add simple vocabulary term.
Add a new collection, give the title of your desired vocabulary term, publish and set criteria.
Click add simple vocabulary term.
Give your vocabulary term a key and a Value(name) and click Save.
Select Collection from the add new... drop-down menu.
Give your Collection a title.
Select publish from the state: drop-down menu.
Insert the following criterias: Video categories with Criteria type of Text, Item Type with Criteria type of Select content types, and State with Criteria Type of List of values. E.g. to add Video categories with Criteria type of Text, select Video categories from the Field Name drop-down menu.
Select Text from the Criteria Type drop-down menu.
Repeat process, adding Item Type with Criteria type of Select content types, and State with Criteria Type of List of values.
Choose Plumi Video from Item Type, enter your new vocabulary term (MAKE SURE YOU USE THE KEY YOU ENTERED EARLIER, NOT THE VALUE/NAME) into Video Categories, and enter published in State. Click Save button.
If you're going to delete a vocabulary term, make sure no video has been assigned with this term. For example, if you delete a video genre, and visit a video that is of this video genre, then you will have an error! First change the video genres of that video to remove references to the genre you wish to delete, and then delete that video genre.


Hawaiian keen fly fisher, David Carr who is based in Tokyo Japan, fly fished with us in Kuala Rompin recently with fellow Japan-based fly fisher – Martyn White.
David is stoked to catch his first billfish on fly including one that gave him a hard time.
Check out the video made by him below with brief scenes of Malaysia. Be sure to browse through his other fly fishing videos including those of him indulging in urban fly fishing actions in busy Tokyo.
Safely catching and releasing sailfish, particularly on a fly rod requires a coordinated team effort. These guys are the best out there. Super friendly, professional and passionate about what they do. Many thanks to Dennis, Ming, Capt. Steve and @juanwei of sportfishin.asia you guys are the Dream Team!

It will be open on July 7 in the morning, and everyone will get a pre-programmed keytag for entry during the workshop (keytags will be distributed at registration, 8:30-9:00 July 7, in front of the refectory where the opening takes place). This keytag has to be used for entering the building using either the main door (8-8) or the side door (24/7).
NB: for those NOT arriving in time for the registration Monday morning before 9am, please go to the front desk (turn right just after the main entrance, small glass door) and ask them to let you in for "The Workshop". Then follow signs to S9. If there is any problem, ask the front desk to call ÚFAL secretariat at ext. 4278, or if that does not help, use Jan Hajic's email and/or cellphone (see contacts above).
The PRELIM week will take place in S9 (Floor 1), except for the morning of the first day, which will take place in the refectory (Floor 1). The teams will have the following rooms at their disposal: ASR (S8, Floor 1), CLAMR (S10 and S11, both adjacent rooms on Floor 1), PRELIM (S7, Floor 2). The team lectures open to all participants, afternoon town hall meetings and all coffee breaks will take place in S1 (Floor 4). Room S1 will also be available at all other times as a lounge. Final reports and talks will take place in S9 (Aug. 1, Floor 1). [The Steering Committee will meet every Monday, 5-6, in Room 420, Floor 4.] Please note that floors are numbered base 0 (i.e. the U.S. "second floor" is numbered as Floor 1).
Coffee breaks will be served near S9 in the PRELIM week, always after the talk (July 7 morning in front of the refectory). Starting week 2, all coffee breaks will take place in S1 (to get some exercise using the irregularly shaped West Wing staircase :-)). Elevators are of course available, too. Exception: on the final day, coffee breaks will be again near S9 where the talks will take place.
Lunches, Dinners: except for the reception, farewell dinner and the group dinners, these are up to the teams and individuals to organize. The building sports a cafeteria, open 11am to 2pm for lunch and after 5pm for dinner. Lunch price is discounted, as usual, and substantially lower than elsewhere in the neighborhood (~$6 including soft drinks or beer). Please note that in the final week (July 28 - August 1), the cafeteria will be open only 11-12 due to another event with catered lunches taking place there at noon.
There are many places to eat out, as expected in a very touristy area.
upon arrival, everybody has to go to the appropriate Reception of her/his accommodation.

Once you have completed your undergraduate education, an option for you could be to attend graduate school. The UK is renowned for its wide choice of educational opportunities and whether you want to apply to do a masters, Ph.D., attend medical school, attend business school or law school, the choice can be tough to make.
Graduate school is a different atmosphere compared to your undergraduate program. Work is generally much harder, and students take it a lot more seriously.
Graduate school can be extremely expensive and you have to consider if it will be a worthwhile option for you to take. If you have already accumulated debt whilst taking your undergraduate course, is it a viable option to incur more debt? Do you think that you will make enough money after you have completed your graduate course to pay this debt off? You will have to weigh up your options.
You will have to decide which school is right for you. Competition to graduate schools is normally extremely competitive to make sure you apply to a couple so that you can keep your options open. Before you apply however, you need to research each school carefully and decide which school will fit in with your needs. Sometimes the school you really want to go to is not the best fit!
There are numerous resources online to help you in your search.
Be sure to visit all the schools in person, if possible. By doing this you can get a better feel of the institution and you are able to meet with tutors and professors in person to ask specific questions. If you are going to attend graduate school you need to make sure that you will be happy there whilst studying so take the time to visit and research the institution.
