It's all the bodies I buried in Booterstown Marsh last year.

meglome

I'd prefer if you Blackrock types didn't refer to your fellow commuters in such a way

Attol had something spicy for dinner I'm guessing.

I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but the members of Leixlip town council came up with the idea of moving the smell in Leixlip to another town.
Looks like they settled on Blackrock.

Must have been a pretty big logistics operation

Sparky

Seaweed??

redtom

yeah its the seaweed, and its worse than that godawful stench that emanates from the guinness brewery, if that is possible - used to work in blackrock and evry now and again that swamp-thing, mucusy, foul odour would waft across the village and make me want to puke...

Zzippy

Rotting seaweed. Full moon this week so spring tides - more shore exposed, more seaweed rotting

bronte

so THAT'S where the smell went in leixlip (not)
(I'm actually smiling though the pain)

ronbyrne2005

Theres a similar stech in Clontarf most days and further up coast when wind is southerly. Comes from sewer pipes entering Dublin Bay and the Sewerage plant in Ringsend where your rings' waste ends up.

chopperbyrne

It's Booterstown without a doubt.

Man that place stinks.

cournioni

Could be the smelly black rocks... huh huh...

layke

It's the smell of smug richness.

I-like-eggs,mmm

Blackrock? Have you been to Leixlip? Leixlip = stinky winky at the end of the village (ozone)....

Dragan

It's the smell of success wouldn't you know.

bronte

I used to work in the ozone...used to cry every time I had to clean the smoking area,the smell was so bad.
It was meant to be fixed by the end of august but I wouldn't bet on it. :mad:

Terry

Note: The smell has nothing to do with the Ozone. It's from a dodgy pipe near the Rye, on the other side of the street.

bronte

yup, dodgy sewers... they really have to sort that out.
Every bloomin politician promised me it'd be dealt with...same thing every election :rolleyes:

Don't you mean Dort ?

Ah they are sorting it out, they're re-routing pipes in Leixlip. They used to just dump chemicals in. Ever smell it on a hot WINDY day? It used to reach my school...a good bit away.

Its our new defense against the commoners initiative, keep you riff raff out of our fair village.

Eeeww Leixlip stench, just reminded of coming home from In-hell on a Friday when the traffic would be brutal and you'd have to sit there without breathing for 5 minutes.

Festival week is the best.
Lots of tourists nearly puking on a hot Sunday afternoon. All you can do is laugh.

zuutroy

Do the locals become immune to it?

Terry

I wouldn't think so.
Mind you, I'm rarely down that way, so it still affects me when I do pass by it.

bronte

Don't think leixlip locals are immune to the stink...I've been here 23 years and it still gets me. tis fun to watch the visitors try to cope with it at festival time alright Someone'd make a fortune selling nosepegs!

I don't think they did a good job

All these people knowing about the Leixlip smell, are we really that famous?

Lirange

Put a cosmetics factory there to rid the area of the stinkweed.
