[edit] Thanks

Thanks to Jdorney for this article and the others on Tudor Ireland - all accurate, concise and balanced. My 4 minor rewrites of this one don't add up to a major rewrite. Some may take issue with my deletion of the term Roman Catholic and its replacement with the simple Catholic: in my view, the term Roman Catholic is an oxymoron - open to debate - but its use in this historical context is undeniably incorrect. Anyone wanting to follow this up, please check out the discussion page on the unfortunately entitled Roman Catholic Church article.--shtove 20:15, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tudor buildings still extant in Ireland

If anybody would know the answer it's you lot. Do any of you know of the remains of any of the original Tudor architecture in Ireland, especially Dublin? Amid all the "tudor style" houses (one of which I was brought up in long, long before I knew what Tudor meant), is there any fine example of such architecture (Like the Powerscourt Townhouse or Newman House would be considered an example of Georgian architecture)? If there is enough to do an article on, I'd be interested in getting into it. El Gringo 20:24, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

In 1995 I used to walk to work in the 4 Courts in Dublin City centre, through Temple Bar and along the south quays. There was one 16thC. house, fairly small, charmingly lopsided - nothing fine about it - and at the time it was surrounded by sites cleared for development (between the end of Temple Bar and the quayside sculpture of the viking longboat). I'd bet my voluptuous nose it had a preservation order on it, but I don't know if it survived Fianna Fail councillors' Galway Races interpretation of the law. The Dublin Castle-Civic Offices vicinity is where you'll find the survivors (if any). In the planning tribunals, wasn't there evidence that a tudor house in Kildare got bulldozed by the, "Will we give him a receipt? Will we fuck!" developers? I'm in England now, and when I drive through a town like Salisbury on business I see more Tudor architecture than survives in all of Ireland's towns put together. Fianna Fail's roots as a developers' association go back way before independence.--Shtove 22:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
