Re: Online Petition To Remove Beverton/Ballisk Walkway Gate

Ah Beverton98, you seem to misinterpreting my post as "anti gate" I'm neither for nor against simply pointing out that hyperbolic statements in my view do no benefit your cause, to me "demanding equal privileges" and "requesting the autonomy to move freely within the communi...

Re: Online Petition To Remove Beverton/Ballisk Walkway Gate

I'm not sure the hyperbole below helps your cause. Its a short cut to the village, that's all, nobody is being prevented access to their homes. "Petition in favour of freedom of movement for all in our village regardless of how long we have been living here or the time of day or night we are tr...

Re: Large Scale Development - Activist Question

As someone who is a ‘local’ of three generations I can’t help but agree with the general sentiment of this thread and certainly Aoifey. The quoted percentages put forward are predictably going to lead to social issues. As much of a lefty as I am for anyone to feel that they deserve, or are entitled ...

I believe this is in the hands of the guards so maybe this thread should be locked. Mods?

Duchas Schools project

If anyone is interested, some stories from both Donabate primary schools of the time.

Re: Donabate Community College

In fairness to Micropoodle they have in their previous post said they will be talking to the school also. I hardly think sharing a concern is "bashing". Should we all just extol the virtues of everything Donabate related here? I'm hoping mr stupid's suggestions are somewhat tongue in cheek...

Re: Donabate Community College

This is because - thankfully - a number of professionals have moved to the area, especially in the last 10 - 15 years. Most of these professionals will have been riding over the last ten years and have kids who they have high aspirations for. That's good news for everyone. The gene pool is getting ...

Re: CCTV in the village

I saw this on Facebook and don’t really get it. Have the company in question been requested to turn it off or is there some other reason? The vagueness of the post and the request to like and share seems odd. While I’m not convinced that a private security company controlling and operating cctv in p...
