Ireland Ireland, show ‘em what you got.
Hate to nitpick at rte, but surely the headline is misleading.
>Since 2018 the National Gallery has worked with the OPW to find a suitable location for the scanner but has not found a suitable room to date.
>This is because there are concerns about the “load-bearing capacity” of possible locations due to the weight of the scanner.
So it does fit in rooms, it’s just the floor that they are worried about.
This sounds like a quagmire of bureaucracy, where the opw just isn’t willing to approve something and leaves the gallery in a position to do nothing.
>What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart?
Well this scanner sees fuck all.
So who didn’t read the spec sheet?
Another Catherine Martin special
Well done you fucking idiots.
No one wants to take responsibility once again
Store it in the bike shed for now.
Reinforce the floor? I could do a sensitive, conservation-friendly reinforcement for … €2.4m. Gold-plate early-Victorian joists are extra.
Eight years without being operative? Not sure it will still work
I’ve an old HP inkjet with a scanner. They can buy it off me for the right price.
OPW had their best men on the job also.
” To me, to you…..’
Just put it in a different fucking room.
Patrick Donovan should be right at home on this – the now arts minister was previously the minister responsible for the OPW in his last gig!
Isn’t it someone’s job to make sure the structure can support the weight?
This happens more often than you think even in private business.
