Any update on the illegal campsite which sprung up at Turvey Allotments yesterday ? At least a dozen caravans there and still arriving this morning

Cheers , got them in Chadwick’s in the end. Did it in two spins to save the suspension in the car as i’m close enough . That other crowd were charging €40 to deliver as my order was less than €20

Could you recommend somewhere close to Donabate I could buy some 4 inch concrete blocks. Need roughly about 16 to put a shed on. Preferably somewhere close as I don’t want to destroy the suspension in the car carrying €15 worth of blocks. Cheers

There's a young lad selling Christmas trees in St Patrick's National School on Thursday 7th between 5.30 and 9 with profits donated to the Peter McVerry trust. €50 for a tree (€60 with a stand)

Hi, could anyone recommend a child friendly hairdresser in the village for a 2 yr old boy and what's the going rate for a toddler hair cut ? TIA

Anyone see the lorry reverse into the street light outside the estate last night ? Iggy Madden Transport Lorry was coming up Turvey Avenue from the direction of the 24 hr petrol station. He was parked in just passed the entrance and looked lost and in his attempt to turn the lorry around reversed ba...

Hi,

We are looking for a childminder to start immediately to mind our 2 year old boy and to help mammy with housework.

please PM me for more info if you are interested

Hi,

Could anyone tell me of any newspapers that serve Donabate and North County Dublin ?

I was going to put an ad for a childminder into the North County Leader but I heard they've ceased trading and have stopped publishing since last month.

Thank you

There's a couple of guys from the council there now, they've gained access and switched off the alarm

Does anyone know who owns the boarded up Cottage on Turvey Avenue (the one beside Beverton Court Apartments not the one in Beresford). I seem to remember that a bit of work was done on it months ago (prob around the time the footpath was widened) to tidy it up but now anytime I go passed the alarm s...

@junior2016 , Portrane AFC have two over-35s teams that play on Sundays in the amateur football league. The younger lads play on the Senior team also on Sundays in the amateur football league. Contact Ger on the number above if you're interested.

Cheers, was looking at the Adman steel sheds up @ Mr Jones garden centre. Was looking at a simple storage shed with a timber floor but even with that he was saying i'd need a concrete base to sit the shed on. trying to get the guy to call out to me to go through the options. Has anyone gone with Eas...

Cheers knitwit

Hi,

Could anyone recommend a good reliable (and reasonable) local plumber to install a washing machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I noticed more and more sheds popping up and with the summer finally here it's time for me to do something with the garden. Any suggestions on where to get the shed ? Will probably go with a steel shed and just had a brief chat with the guy down at Mr Jones garden centre but any suggestions ...

@brian b, over 35s and the senior team train every Thursday night @ 7.30 at the pitch on the Portrane Road. Over 35s have a friendly on Sunday at home at 11 if you want a look

Apologies for asking the same question again but finally getting close to moving in and this question is relevant again. Considering converting the attic in one of the 4 bed houses and wondering what company people who have already converted went with. We got a quote for the full conversion which wa...

Has anyone opted to convert their attic and if so which company did they use ? Considering setting up the attic for a future conversion to save additional cost/work further down the line.

Cheers in advance.

When you say "Junior" teams are you referring to schoolboy teams ? The club I used to play for referred to the adult section of the club as the "junior" teams

For those who have bought in Beresford or Beverton, how did you find Kube to deal with for the kitchen and wardrobes ? Still early days for us but should be getting in contact with them soon to pick out the kitchen

@123 there's one 4 bed remaining, went up on myhomes.ie this morning

Thanks Austy for the info re the heating system. I might pm you over the next couple of months if something springs to mind before we move into the new house in Beresford if that's ok ? One comforting factor is the good reputation Hora have, i know of people who bought from them in Meath and they sp...

@theblowin which phase have you bought in ? Missed the first phase myself but looking at buying in the second phase which should be complete by December/January. They look lovely from the outside but also interested to see how the heating system works. I'll be another blowin to the village

Cheers, I'll keep an eye out for when those kick abouts start.

When is the over 35s season due to start back and when do you start training ?
