Just as an addendum to the discussion, I bought the ingredients for one dinner, 2 melons and a bag of sweets in SV on Friday - €38 I bought the ingredients for one dinner and two melons on Saturday €29 So I decided to look at delivery as suggested - I did an entire weeks shopping, food for several m...

There seems to be overwhelming support for the injection lodged by Mr Whatshisface. That’s fair enough! On a point of order, we do live in a democracy, I respect Mr Whatshisface’s right to object, but I do not respect the process where €220 can potentially deprive a community of a vital resource for...

As we have the most expensive SuperValu in Ireland, I was looking forward to some competition moving into the village. the site on Turvey, which was supposed to be an Aldi or a Lidl was granted planning permission on 25th May 2022, 16 months ago. The is a single objector to the development, Mr <Mod ...

I contacted the Bord today to ask about the status of this planning permission and they said it is at Inspectorate level but cannot give a date for the decision, he explained that once the Inspector completes their report it will go to the board for decision. it's a pity that this application is bei...

Thats not the way it works, the zoning dictates what you can apply for, developers apply for whatever maximises the land value/meets demand - the planners only approve or deny the application. Turvey is absolutely not congested, few queues in the morning at school time aside frrom that there is no o...

Yes, the problem is the council. The solution is not to build more houses without the council building more facilities, like schools. You're judging people based on appearances in my quote. Not to be pedantic, but what I said was: ....It's usually the ones that bang on about 'property values' and '...

"It's usually the ones that bang on about 'property values' and 'trees' or cycle about with those stupid cargo bikes so everyone can see how eco friendly they are." This is a pretty judgemental stance you have. Regarding objections, possibly some people are objecting to any development bu...

To add to the above... The planning process works like this, if you arent happy with a planning application you can object to the local Council during the 6 week period of the planning application process, you pay €20 and your objection or observation is taken into consideration. When the Council ma...

Yes the supermarket on Turvey was objected to by a single serial objector, he wants DOnabate to stay exactly as it was when he was a lad obviously. He has written a 59 page document objecting to the development of the Supermarket on various grounds, in a long rambling, non-sensical diatribe about gr...

I have my house in Donabate, I absolutely love it. I like the 'village feel' of the place, but I recognise that there are thousands of people who are stuck in apartments no longer suitable for their needs - maybe they have 2 kids now - and thousands of first time buyers that can't get a house or an ...

Don't know what reverse osmosis is, I know I had to write out the definition of osmosis 100 times in school, but I still cant remember it, something about a semi permiable membrane.... In terms of filtered water, we got a Quooker before Christmas and it is absolutely fantastic - hot, cold, boiling, ...

A friend of mine bought an apartment in Gallery a couple of years ago and they have upsized to Beresford now, they loved the Gallery and at the time they were buying there were a few apartments for sale too, there seems to be a relatively high turnover of them because some are rented and a lot of pe...

I do understand the concerns that people have regarding such a large development, but this is NIMBYism and I won't support it. We need to allow people who have no house to get a house or an apartment - a home for their family, if every time a planning application is granted permission, all you have ...

Yeah fully agree that "little Johnny" will never be the one to blame, unfortunately,. little Johnny is also the one who is telling his parents that he was down in little Billy's house and they were just playing FIFA when in actual fact they are setting wheelie bins on fire, firing rockets ...

You're right, I am angry. Foreigners are troublesome, can't be trusted, we should all start to treat them differently so that they p*ss off back where they came from - hopefully they take the pikeys with them - don't get me started on Pikeys. Thanks for the warning about the drunk, leery foreigners,...

I think you miss the point, so I’ll help you out. Pointing out that someone is a ‘non national’ in this context is racist. The fact that they are drunk and leery is potentially relevant, the fact that they are ‘foreigners’ is not - does it make them more drunk? More leery? More reason to be fearful ...

So, in summary, these guys are foreign, unemployed, leery and drunkards, We should immediately unite against this horror. Folks round these parts don’t take too kindly. to these types. I have some flaming torches and some pitch forks if you would like to establish an angry mob? Let me know, I’m free...

Mr Stupid. Just about sums him up. What a fool.

I think Mr Stupid is is making a big assumption about the types of people who buy affordable homes - they’re often nurses, guards, young people starting out. My former neighbour is a young solicitor and is renting as they couldn’t get a loan during covid. Looking to buy in Donabate but feeling pric...

The snobbery displayed here is pretty discouraging, probably the crowd that still tell people they are from Malahide except they moved out of their parents house in Seabury 25 years ago. I can’t wait for these houses to be built and a few teeneagers to gather in the village - that should keep them c...

The application on the site, changing the layout and doing away with the double escalator was at the specific request of a large supermarket retailer. It was not Aldi or Lidl, if the application is approved, the deal is done and they break ground on the site in July. Unfortunately, there are the cou...

Anyone have any idea on the status of the members of the traveling community who have chosen the beautiful tree back fields of the new road to make their new home for the third time? It seems a little futile to keep moving them on every few weeks only for them to return a few weeks later in greater ...
