Re: Tilbury site, New Rd (FCC owned)

Have faith. Donabate is one of the few places in FIngal to have three schools right the heard of the community and another two a 5 minute walk. It has a few great sport clubs and one the best beaches and public parks in Dublin. It could do with a few more shops but think you need more people living ...

Re: Tilbury site, New Rd (FCC owned)

Social and affordable housing is necessary but it also needs to work and scale. Middle income people who can't qualify for affordable or social housing are priced out of Donabate and going further North. That's just making a dysfunctional market even more dysfunctional.

Re: Supermarket On Turvey

It's called democracy.

It's not a good place to put a supermarket - somewhere on the the by pass road makes more sense.
That site - maybe a simpler newsagent might work but if you want something to compete with supervalue you are talking a lot more traffic in a narrow road.

Re: Donabate Dexter no More?

It is zoned as agricultural but it can always be rezoned or a hotel could go there (I think) with adjoining green space.
Agree with you on the high quality of Donabate Dexter.

Re: Development works in Donabate

There is no commencement notice for this https://www.nbco.localgov.ie/en/bcms/se ... ority%3A31
so it could just be whoever is owning it cleaning it up for a nice halting site.

Re: Scrambler Bike in Beverton

Just keep calling the police. Also take video with your phone. It's not just noise pollution but as you say could injure a younger child. (I would imagine their parents would support you if you contact them).

Re: Donabate - NIMBY Capital of Ireland

We will be very soon short on secondary school places, there's no way it can support 4 feeder schools and it is only a matter of time before kids won't have a secondary school place within walking / cycling distance. Most people are giving out about the facilities not growing with the development si...

Re: Donapoop, the town of dog poop..and uncivilized dog owners

I think most dog owners are responsible and pick up the poo.
A few individuals don't and you should report them https://www.fingal.ie/council/service/d ... ng-control

Although unlikely, it can happen. If you have a long lead, they can poo quickly while you took your eye off them.

On a related subject, is it okay to let your small dog off the lead down on the beach so they can run around and get some exercise?

Re: Supervalu sub standard

That's a regular occurrence in SuperValu. Unfortunately will keep happening unless people bring it back or make a complaint.
You basically need to check everything when you buy it. Don't forget a magnifying glass as they can be hard to read as well.

New Strain

I was just wondering everything now seems to be mixed with a Poodle. Cavapoo, Cockapoo, Labra-doodle, bishonapoo you name it.

Wondering could one of the new estates in Donabate be called: DonaPoo?
Or could we end up with another strain of Covid? Covipoo?

Re: School bus

Thanks for info. Any reason why the kids would get the bus over the train?
I am guessing schools in town start at 9.00 so thinking would a train around 8.00 not be possible?
