Trolling I take it You're that concerned about the plight of our "visitors" , why don't you invite them to stay in your home , they could use your fine toilet and washing facilities while you exchange cultural views. Meanwhile back in the real world , I'm afraid I haven't been "woked&...

If any of you were consistently treated the same way that you're talking about these folks, I suspect you'd also begin to lose respect for your (likely temporary) surroundings as well. The small-mindedness, intolerance and snobbery on display in this thread is a lot more disgusting than any rubbish...

Profiteering going on in lots of supermarkets at the moment
Wife just bought so called large chicken in SuperValu ......€8.39

Larger chicken in Dunnes is only €5

.

This is symptomatic of the lunacy of what's going on in this town and society in general, everyone is afraid to voice their opinion for fear of offending anyone. There is no law and order , gangs constantly travelling the train line terrorising young and old, undesirables ( i'm trying to show restra...

Daughter on work outing , got night-link home only to be harassed and abused by shower of scum hanging around outside Smyth's again. Not for the first time in the recent past gangs of young people raving in Smyths last night, many brought into the town by car and limo's, I fear our town has now beco...

I live in Beverton and have mixed views on the gate opening times. The mention of anti-social behaviour has been well flagged, you could just as equally argue there is little problem of it in this area by the virtue of the fact that the gate does actually close early, so the gangs of youths that are...

Feel sorry for Bob Dowling, great local activist, perhaps in current climate of our peninsula being shit on , he should have gone independent

Yeah it's great isn't it ,and they're even fixing the Aleppo style potholes at the end of Turvey Avenue at the moment....strange you would think there were a few sweating people worried about elections or something

Dearg11 you sound like you have the making of a local manifesto of some kind - sustainable development, planning enforcement, a Garda station for Donabate. Why don’t you stand for election? Genuine question. Just a concerned resident of Donabate , unfortunately my inability to sustain diplomacy wit...

Donabate doesn’t feature in a list of the fastest growing towns in Ireland (2). That said, Donabate isn’t even growing as fast as Lusk, Rush, Ashbourne or Kinsealy. And now look forward, to the end of expansion plan which is already in progress: A target of 5,200 additional homes, giving a populati...

Swords 30 years ago didn’t have all that Actually Swords did have buses, banks,shops, restaurants......actually it had a whole town 30 years ago. I have previously stated we are the toilet for Fingal CC commitments , out of sight, out of mind, and yes it is our own fault, electing people without any...

''This place is getting worse'' - Actually This place is getting much much better!!Beacuse we'll have a by-pass road in use by the end of the year meaning a huge proportion of traffic will not pass through our village. Isn't it positive that three schools are 'in the planning' for the Ballymastone ...

I couldn't agree more , it is very sad to see. We are literally sleepwalking into this town becoming a lawless kip. I am not being dramatic but if we don't stand up and do something now , just picture the place in 10 years time. If locals continue with the apathy that's been shown recently then we d...

Totally agree , people want to wake up, this town is the new dump ground for every dubious development in Fingal , no infrastructure, town centre consisting of bookies and pharmacies, no Garda presence, gangs of local youths terrorising people while mammy and daddy don't care , gangs travelling up a...

Here is what I expect of my local reps Tell us unequivocally they are against the amount of social housing on its way in Donabate. An apartment complex in Donabate is taking more than twice the amount of the entire county of Offaly. They could challenge Fingal CC's policy in this regard and hold th...

There is a bit of spoof going on here. 20% min social. 20% affordable and the others will low end of the market, small little duplex crap. After a few years, when the various landlords are renting to HAP scheme it is more likely to be 80% social housing and a ghetto. This is the thing about Irish p...

Hi totally agree , we are the new dumping ground for Fingal FULL STOP. I warned people over a year ago this is what was about be happen , but no the majority of people voted for every candidate possible that DIDN'T LIVE in the area , whether this was out of blind party allegiance or apathy I don't k...

Yeah totally agree with you , outrageous time of night , and knocking on people's doors to move cars , I know what I'd tell them. Having said that it's symptomatic of the contempt that developers and Fingal County Council have for our community as their favourite dumping ground to meet their social ...

Hi Bevertonian , I also live in Beverton and as I said I initially wanted the gate to remain open , however just because there is currently less anti social behaviour than in the main village that is not necessarily going to stay that way , with the high number of apartments planned for behind Beres...

I used to believe that the gate should stay open also, However with the amount of how should I put this diplomatically.... ferral/ wild youths both local and migrating up and down the unsupervised train line causing mayhem around the village along with us about to become a dumping ground for what ap...

Well bland , I've just given you one constructive suggestion ,Re: canvas/ threaten withdrawal of vote for local Representatives. You are a troll, a windup merchant with responses that are as bland as your user name , at least some of us are attempting to highlight concerns. Where are your suggestion...

Well bland For a start , canvas our local representatives and let them know we are not happy with what's going on, they can give all the excuses they want , but they are there to represent us , not business interests , God knows they have enough lobbyists looking after them. This is allegedly a demo...

As stated by the people of Tyrellstown in "Dublin Live" Locals also said they were unhappy with Fingal County Council for housing a "disproportionate number" of anti-social elements in the one area. This could be our peninsula in the very near future, far too many "iffy"...

Let's pray the above article is not about us in a couple of years
