That makes a lot of sense, I have not been on the new road recently so I was not aware the Peninsula had visitors.

Re: Donabate Dexter no More?

Passing this afternoon (Thursday 29th June) I noticed a herd of Dexter in the field alongside Turvey Avenue which is definitely a positive sign.

Finishing of Roads

Does anybody here know who in the council I need to get onto regarding getting the roads finished in our housing estate?

We need markings, children at play and speed limit signs and most importantly aggressive speed bumps. Fix My Street has now been stopped, so who do I contact?
