I was informed yesterday by a man at An Bord Pleanála that there were a lot of submissions for PA 0037 on the day (23/03/2015)! No numbers, but sounds encouraging.

Re: Free Workshop: Lodging an observation with An Bord Plean

I contacted RTE (radio & TV), TV3, UTV Ireland, NewsTalk, Independent, Irish Times, Herald, North County Leader and others last week. No one responding. Guess it is either legal implications, it is too sensitive an issue, or maybe we are not making enough noise. Any local journalists interested ...

Re: Free Workshop: Lodging an observation with An Bord Plean

Good to know. I'm concerned with using the post as delivery dates are not guaranteed! Delivering by hand, affords you more time to complete your submission and you are also issued a receipt.

Re: Fibre Broadband in the Links

Hi,
I can confirm that 245Mb is available and achievable with UPC. It is only possible with wired Ethernet i.e. 1Gb Ethernet card in your laptop or PC connected directly to the UPC router. Using Wi-Fi, I achieved an average of 65Mb. Hope this helps!

Re: National Forensic Mental Hospital - Response by HSE to A

Just another point to make. Only 31 observations were made in November to An Bord Pleanála – Referencing : PA 0037. We have to reach a minimum of 300 observations (ideally 900) to make a statistical impact . €50 per observation is expensive (should be free in my opinion) but it will be money well in...

Re: houses.

I thought that a limit existed on the construction of 150 houses per year in the area?? This development with the proposed HSE development in Portrane will bring our community to a stand-still!
