Re: New Houses at Beresford

Hi all, just trying to figure out if we are using the heating the most efficient way. Can anyone in the 4 beds give a rough estimate of how much they are paying for electricity for the past couple of months? Thanks in advance! I’m running a 3 bed from the final phase of Beverton for about 950 euro ...

Re: Online Petition To Remove Beverton/Ballisk Walkway Gate

While the ballisk gate is undoubtedly a shorter walk to the village for parts of beverton, it is not clear cut that it is safer. The route is a lonely little laneway, poorly lit in places, with plenty of nooks and crannies along the way. My daughter goes via turvey avenue, as she is convinced that i...

Re: Teens Spitting on People in Railway Station

No I totally understand what you are saying but thats also a double sided sword, if people report a petty crime like this yes it's down as a crime and yes the crime satistic's will rise in Donabate but when you go to sell your house in Donabate it wont fetch as much because statistically you are li...

Re: Scrambler bikes on old Turvey Golf Club

Oh Focus! Those NIMBY philistines! They don't know the difference between different types of noisy motorbikes! It seems that you are getting in a bit of a knot giving out about other people getting in a knot over this. The change of use of the site is the main issue here - it needs planning permissi...

Re: Scrambler bikes on old Turvey Golf Club

I work in an area where I'm very well aquainted with planning law and I can tell you that the scrambler bike venture that turvey golf course are looking at requires planning permission for change of use. It's a very simple matter to report what's going on and I'm aware of people having already start...

Re: Fingal election poll

Because you can't refuse to pay some people back debt which the government (previous administration) guaranteed while asking other people to believe that they should lend you money to finance your deficit. it's quite simple really. Greece prevaricated on this and look where it got them.

Re: Fingal election poll

Who's to say some of the left won't run the country well? At least they will attempt to look after the less well off in society. They have never shown the inclination to make any tough decisions, nor have they demonstrated where the money would come from to pay for their policies. Oh wait, they pro...

Re: Fingal election poll

So who should we be giving a chance to then? The alliance of independents couldn't even agree at their first press conference whether or not they'd go into power with Sinn Fein. Fantastic. If a party can't tell me where the money to fund their promises will come from then I can't take them seriously...

Re: public meeting

There are 2 issues here: 1. Is massive long-term investment in water infrastructure needed. 2. If so, where will the money come from? There seems to be an acceptance that point 1 is true. On point 2, people accept that it will have to come from somewhere. If Irish water does not continue for some re...

Re: public meeting

I'm asking a simple question- where will the money come from to pay for the massive investment that the water network needs? From what I've read, 600m per year will be needed for at least a decade. This will be collected from somebody. So I'd like to hear where the speakers are planning to raise th...
