The kids in St Peter's N.S. are transcribing all the olden days Admissions Records into their online, census-style, searchable database.

Its got all the girls school admissions 1887- ~1917 at the mo.
Names, Ages, Addresses, Weird 19th Century occupations...

The other Admissions books to follow. Some go back much earlier.
Fair play!

TVs are Heavily Discouraged and having the sound on is Heavily Frowned On, but not banned.

The Back Page is taking bookings and has TVs showing the Euros.

Many pubs around reopen for outdoors? Brian Boru and GBS have some seating available but not sure of many other places?

Even Downeys on the Cabra road had tables outside yesterday:D

Ballymun isn't the answer you're looking for?

We used the North Strand Recycling Centre not far from Connolly. Think we paid €12 for car to dump what we had, such as loads of garden waste, old bricks etc.

They have bottle banks and the usual things there that don't cost to go in and use as you would expect.

Whatever about apartments hasn't there already been a number of student accommodation sites rejected because there are already too many in the area?

Its really pissing me off, knew where everything was and could do my shopping quickly. Took me 15 minutes to find the mince beef at the weekend. Hidden in the new freezer section behind a pillar.

Thats why they do it. They want people looking for things and buying other items they didn't intend on purchasing

Despite the messing with the re-org, the new checkouts are a godsend...along with extra staffing.

There's no such thing anymore. There are 3 active landfills left in the country but none accept domestic waste, you have to go to the recycling centre where they'll accept non recyclable material for a fee.

Anyone hear a fairly loud high pitched machine sort of sound in the middle of the night last night? It didn't sound deep enough to be a train, was quite loud, it sounded to me like it was coming from the vague direction of St. Vincents but could be totally wrong. I heard it in the middle of the night like 4am sort of time.

Could be a siren/klaxon from McKee Barracks on Blackhorse Avenue in Dublin 7.

I live nearby and they test the sirens there every so often.

The area seems to be quickly deteriorating, I also live in Phibsboro.

Had a k.... (I recently learned the k-word is a 'slur', even though every irish person I know used it, but ok) walk into my little garden the other day. Yer wan sat down and I came up to her and said 'excuse me can I help you' and she was like 'ill just be 5 minutes', so I was like 'I'm sorry but you are on private property'. Then yer one was like 'ill just be 5 minutes' so I was like 'you can sit on the steps over there, this is my private territory'. She was obviously after using drugs, she's homeless. I do not judge homeless people using drugs to cope with life but... don't do it in my garden please.

She still refused to leave. Called the gardaí then she had the audacity to light her heroin/meth/crack or whatever pipe it was right in front of me. I became so angry that I chased her away with a stick. It took a few light beatings before she finally fooked off like. Gardaí later told me she is indeed known by them.

I don't mind people being on drugs but if you are told to leave, they should leave. She was obviously still 'sober' (as sober as someone like that can be I guess) the moment I told her to leave. I even offered her an alternative location for her to use. But no. Irish people are so entitled....

Last week, I left the glass door open into my living room when i went to the bathroom and when i came back there was a guy in there on drugs. He was walking aroound wiht my backpack around his foot and he was oblivious to it dragging around. I was just shouting at him to get the **** out ("but it is raining" "so what"), what is he doing in here and he was trying to lie to say my housemate (non existent) said he could be in there, was bizarre, difficult to get him to leave but in the end he apologized and went on his way.

I'd have knocked him unconscious he was lucky. Best to call the guards. This area is sadly going downhill due to the COVID restrictions and their effect on the economy. Must have been a scare !

I think it's quite the opposite actually, the area is doing better than ever during Covid. Lots of young families and professionals spending their time and money in the area rather than in offices, and there's a better sense of community than ever as neighbours and communities get to know each other better.
