Re: New road Settlers
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&...

Re: New road Settlers
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...

Re: Smyth's Pub - Unruly Clientele again
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...

Smyth's Pub - Unruly Clientele again
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...

Re: Online Petition To Remove Beverton/Ballisk Walkway Gate
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...

Re: This place is getting worse
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...

Re: This place is getting worse
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...

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...
