Students Against the Destruction of Dublin (SADD) was a student campaigning group active in Dublin, Ireland, between 1987 and 1991. It lobbied for the sensitive restoration and re-use of old buildings instead of demolition. It also proposed a modern tram system in Dublin instead of destructive road-widening and ring road proposals. It was known for using large campaigning banners draped on historic structures. The first meetings of the group were held in the School of Architecture in the Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street, Dublin 1. The group was initially set up by four students of architecture: Orla Kelly, Eunan McLaughlin, Roísín Murphy, and Brian O'Brien. They were soon joined by other students from the Dublin Institute of Technology, University College Dublin, Trinity Colle

  • Students Against the Destruction of Dublin (SADD) was a student campaigning group active in Dublin, Ireland, between 1987 and 1991. It lobbied for the sensitive restoration and re-use of old buildings instead of demolition. It also proposed a modern tram system in Dublin instead of destructive road-widening and ring road proposals. It was known for using large campaigning banners draped on historic structures. The first meetings of the group were held in the School of Architecture in the Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street, Dublin 1. The group was initially set up by four students of architecture: Orla Kelly, Eunan McLaughlin, Roísín Murphy, and Brian O'Brien. They were soon joined by other students from the Dublin Institute of Technology, University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and the National College of Art and Design. The Irish Times stated that SADD "...took the discussion out of drawing rooms and relatively polite meetings into the streets – occupying threatened buildings, staging well-flagged protests and acting as shock troops against road-widening schemes that had done so much damage to the inner city's fabric". Many of the key figures in SADD went on to work in architecture, planning, design and environmental management and continued to contribute to improving urban life in Dublin and further afield. (en)
