| ‘The offering on Cork city by Louise Harrington is a splendid addition to the series. … All of the public buildings you’d expect to find are here but one of the charms of the book is Ms Harrington’s eye for domestic and commercial buildings whose importance might go unnoticed by the non-specialist.’ |

| ‘Louise’s reports brought clarity to the conservation and designed landscape issues on two very different development applications - one involving limited physical intervention to a protected structure and the other a major project within the remains of a designed landscape. Her approach contributed to successful planning outcomes on both proposals.’ |
