Anybody see the sign at Inver on the Dublin road? If you don't have an Irish Republic registered vehicle then you must pre pay in cash for your fuel.

I see why they would do that, as the authorities can't track a non Irish registered person who steals fuel but doesn't sound all very legal or fair. If I saw this in another country I'd drive on, doubt the owner would care.

Probably more to do with the influx of nomads to the west of our county driving UK registered vans and cars.

If you know somebody with a Zweton Voucher then beware as if you buy one Voucher in one branch the other branches will not accept it. Even though it says on the back the voucher holder it can be used in the different places they are refusing it.

Where to get sourdough bread today? Bought something marketed as sourdough today in Supervalu and my god it is rank and most certainly not sourdough. Smells like pork.

I got parbaked sourdough in Dunnes Childers rd yesterday. Yet to try it but it may be worth a go.

Not meaning to offend but is it staffed primarily with teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks? I always presumed it was to divert them from criminal activity.

No offence taken, the bakery department has won lots of awards and many of the students have progressed into baking / catering careers.

Many of the students there are ones who don't fit into the standard school system. one of their LCA students recently achieved an award for highest results in the country, big article about it in the Leader / Post.

A particular group of people like driving in English reg cars in Ireland. They also like paying with 500 euro notes and not paying tax.

Mc Love · 04-01-2019 11:40am

They also like smashing up places

In plain man's language, scrotes or the bottom feeders of society who contribute nothing to our community but do cause vast amounts of hardship, worry and offence to the vast majority of the rest of us.

Those of us who are not offended by that section of society have yet to encounter one of them.

Should be locked up for doing that speed in a residential area. Madness.

04-01-2019 11:05pm

I'd love to know what were they driving that could get up to 168km ph on that stretch and at that location. Was hardly the van in the pic.

marno21 · 05-01-2019 4:11am

Here's the original Tweet by the Gardai:

https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1080791078364766208

My view is that given the wording in the tweet "National/Motorway network", this guy was caught speeding on the M20 heading north at the Patrickswell exit, and they didn't catch up with him until the location in the photo after he exited the M20. I fail to see how you could manage 168km/h anywhere around Raheen on Christmas Day, let alone during broad daylight given the amount of traffic lights and roundabouts in the area, along with the general traffic levels.

Mc Love · 05-01-2019 10:02am

I think it's possible especially if they went straight through the roundabout without stopping.

Any idea where I can dispose of a Christmas tree? I checked the council website and rang their offices and they can only seem to tell me last years collection dates

Wise Old Elf · 05-01-2019 1:12pm

Website suggesting you can bring it to any of their recycling centres free during January.
Mungret your best option around the city I'd say.

I saw someone mention on Facebook that they’re building new houses down the Mill Road. Haven’t been out that way in a over a year. Is this true and if so where are they going?

Between silverbrook and meadowbrook.

You'd think the traffic isn't bad enough down there already. Albeit, I'm looking at buying in the area, just not in the new builds. I saw them earlier, they're quite big. Look like 4/5 bed detached.

That’s exactly why I asked the question! How the existing estates got planning on what is essentially a narrow cul-de-sac baffles me. Now they’re adding to the problem.

Please forgive what may be a stupid question, but isn't the road itself between silverbrook and meadowbrook? And the only plot of land I can think of down there is between silverbrook and spring Grove.

Yes. It's between spring Grove and silverbrook. On the right, going down the road, a little before where the shop across the road used to be.

Recycling centres, you could have dropped it to the councils pick up points at Watch House Cross last Saturday 9-3, near Our Lady of Lourdes Church next Friday and to Musgrave's Car Park on Sat

Edit - actually the friday and saturday drop points might be in reverse, I can't remember

Edit #2 - this popped up on my Twitter timeline this morning

Any good place for teaching the very basics of driving to someone such as an empty car park or similar during the weekdays? (Before 9am / After 6pm)

Are there any places where you can walk / play with (reasonably nice) dogs around Limerick even if it costs money?

Not too sure about the first one but Raheen industrial estate might be worth a try. My neighbour used to take her daughter up there a couple of years ago when she was learning.

My friend takes her dog out to Curraghchase. I know you have to pay now but I can't remember how much

I don't have a dog I would like to play with dogs or walk them!

Thanks I will check out the estate.

Try the animal welfare places. they'll usually be only too delighted to have someone walk a couple of dogs for them. Just be aware you might end up wanting to keep some of them!

Looking to have some finger food for a party on Saturday night for about 20 people. Can anyone recommend any decent caterers? Looking for something a bit nicer than the standard sausage rolls, sandwiches and the likes.

May be above what your looking for but worth a shot. Same people who own DeBucket pub in Kildimo.
