Irish Pavilion strikes a perfect balance

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / June 01 2000: Irish Pavilion strikes a perfect balance

Ireland missed out on Lisbon two years ago - shamefully, the only EU member state to do so - but the Government has made up for that lapse by flying the flag in Hanover. The Irish Pavilion, designed by the Dúl consortium led by architects Murray O'Laoire - is a credit to us. Though sandwiched between a gimmicky Italian entry and a "nonentity" from Greece, with the vulgar Monaco pavilion rising up to the rear, it strikes just the right note.
