Sirens in Dublin

Fago!

Anybody in Dublin City Center hear the constant beeping of horns and what not? What's that about?

Now or in general? If you mean in general welcome to the city, it's always noisy around town.

No right now haha. I know Dublin's mad noisy but not that noisy. Must be some sort of protest on or something.

There you go. I suppose that's it.

I know it's a bit far away from town but could be it.

yeah just on Nassau St, sounds more like loads of car horns or air horns than sirens

Yep just drove past my office, trucks beeping horns in protest at carbon tax and high fuel prices judging by the banners on the front of their cabs!

Eh... how bad is it around town? On the north side I mean. I was gonna go shopping today but might leave it. Mostly o connell street/henry street area.

P.S., I can hear some now around Dorest Street, well one or two for about five seconds about a minute ago.

Take Part in ARAN's Peaceful Protest at Fine Gael HQ
category dublin | animal rights | event notice author Wednesday February 16, 2011 23:08author by ARAN - Animal Rights Action Networkauthor email arancampaigns at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

Fine Gael are to repeal the Ward Union hunt ban legislation should they get into government, which looks increasingly likely. However, we’re not letting this distressing news go unnoticed, and, we certainly won’t take this news lying down without fighting the animals’ corner. We’re going to ensure the ban stays in place, but we can’t do it alone.


Mark your diary now and pledge to stand for the hunted deer and Ireland’s wildlife and take part in ARAN’s large, lively and peaceful demonstration that we’ve planned for next week with details below. We’ll provide banners and placards for you to hold, so please be sure to RSVP your attendance!

Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Place: Fine Gael Headquarters, 51 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2
Time: 6pm sharp (arrive before hand if possible)
Contact: John Carmody 087-2391646

Our demonstration comes at a critical time with less than 48 hours after the event to election time. It’s vital that we have a strong turn-out for our efforts to ensure that Fine Gael dump their original plan to bring back the Ward Union hunt. In the meantime, you can help make our demonstration a huge success—take time out now and next week to encourage all your friends and family to take just two hours out of their time to be there.

Encourage everyone on Facebook and cross post this message far and wide. Next Wednesday ARAN will intend on showing Fine Gael that there are people out there—many people—who give a damn—who give a damn about helping animals.

I know. The rascals. If it weren't for their sexy accent, I'd send a strongly worded letter to them...yes all of donegal :pac:

Well it seems to have stopped now.

Just give them a time out, tell them to take their noisy trucks to the corner if they can't play nice.

Was some racket in fairness! Nice to find out what it was.
