Is this the best solution that @Fingalcoco could come up with to solve the parking problems on Burrow Road Sutton. Turned a nice quiet attractive road in to an eyesore. All to solve an issue that happens one week of the year. Proper policing and enforcement of the already 1/2
existing parking restrictions would, and do already when put in place, alleviate the problem. Another tonne of plastic in the environment. Disappointing. @AoibhinnTormey @CllrEOB @hopkins_joan @davidhealyv @Cathal_Haughey @jguerin11 @brianmcdonagh
Now the gutters are full of soil and debris and have large weeds growing because the contractor put the bollards there on the road surface rather than on the kerb. Road sweepers can’t get in to clear the channel of rubbish. Great stuff @Fingalcoco

(📢) NATSEC COMMUNITY NOTE: Musk is confessing to beginning to blame Ukraine for a war Putin started—thus working to aid Putin—at exactly the moment he began having clandestine business and geopolitical negotiations with Putin.
He should be arrested.

Thanks @DubFireBrigade for hosting us at Phibsborough today, a very informative morning. Looking forward to more of these.
Inter agency training with @HowthCoastGuard in Phibsborough fire station.
Familiarisation with the capabilities of each emergency service helps enormously on scene at an incident. We regularly work with @IrishCoastGuard emergency service personnel at calls in Howth 👏👏
