    Massive row in Waterville park just now between two groups of teens. So much for social distancing. Very frightening with so many kids families in the park.

    Please tell me someone called that Gardai

    Are there any swans left or were they taken along with the fish?

    As human beings we are hunter gathers and fishermen. We have been doing it since forever.

    Anyway,

    1. Fishing is a solitary occupation.

    2. These fishermen are not doing any harm to anyone. I presumes they're socially distancing, as it wouldn't be practical to fish cheek by jowl with other people.

    3. Fishing is a very relaxing way to pass the time.

    4. Peoples mental health is suffering and fishing is one way to relieve the stress.

    Would you prefer they met in the park, smoked all sorts, had a few tinnies, shouted abuse and threw bottles at random passer byes.

    If somebody is doing something that's doing no harm, and not effecting you in the slightest, then leave them to it. It's none of your business. Live and let live.

    Honestly, there is enough stuff going on to wreck everyone's head without people sticking their noses where they don't belong.

    There were reports in a local Facebook group of two men going door to door selling meat while a third man was checking out the back door. Not sure who would be opening the door to strangers at the moment but something to watch out for.

    If it complies with the rules and bylaws of the Park it’s good to me, provided it all done within 2 Km of your place of residence.

    Considering every delivery person just leaves stuff on your front door and leaves, I wouldn’t be opening the door to anyone alright. But I guess burglars must be hard up at the moment with everyone sitting at home.

    Burglars need to diversify, they're obviously facing many challenges, their bread and butter is breaking into people's homes but the best and smartest will see this as a chance to grow their portfolio.

    I'm no expert in their line of work, but while obviously houses are almost always occupied and people are probably even staying up later the number of commercial businesses lying empty has never been higher.

    Very true, though I think security is still essential service and for example a building site near me is patrolled 24/7.

    Given that every burglar convicted in the courts seems to be known to Gardai and sent down with dozens of prior convictions, perhaps the State should just reach out and offer them the pandemic payment in return for also staying home.

    Sorry folks, mad long weekend away so missed all the craic here (I wish).
    jeffk is right, these sort of comments are not nice regardless of who they are directed at.
    I have no time for Gemma et al but we all need to moderate what we post. It is eminently possible to destroy her position without the need to suggest interesting means of getting rid of her.

    And plus also too as well, it's all way off topic, so lets get back to Neighbourhood Watch please.

    You can delete your posts on any forum on Boards, as long as it's within (I think) 24 hours of posting it.

    News media are reporting the death of a woman in her 60s at a house in Willow Wood Grove, Hartstown following an apparent assault with weapons including a samurai style sword and a meat cleaver.

    Gardaí were alerted to a live incident at approx 11.30 this morning and had to force entry on arrival to effect the arrest of a man, also in his 60s, believed to be known to the victim.

    RIP.

    The Independent have a lot of details on this incident including photos of the victim and her alleged murderer. I thought she looked familiar, she used to work in M&S. May she rest in peace.

    My heart goes out to their son who raised the alarm and their other children. I can't begin to imagine how horrific this is for them.
