city whose history is etched in its architecture, its system of terraces and squares, and the facades and elegant interiors of its buildings. These also are reminders of past and contemporary conflicts. In the words of Martin Wallace, city of Dublin has something of a split personality which is well revealed when some Georgian square is threatened with demolition and the Dubliner's instinct to defend a thing of beauty is tempered by a feeling that he should not grieve at the disappearance of reminders of England's past ascendancy.' The quintessence of modern Dublin is its Georgian core. When they were created, the Georgian districts were perhaps the finest urban facade of terrace housing that the art of architecture ever invented.2 A remarkable amount of this architectural heritage remains essentially intact, but often badly in need of repair and restoration (Fig. 1).
