    What *is* that stench of sulphur in Dublin today. Is it in the rest of the country? Is it only since Cheney and Rumsfeld landed, or is it that someone's opened a waste incinerator?

    If you're south-side (baggot street/haddington road/ringsend etc) it's the sweage plant.

    When the wind changes direction....

    It's the Country People's Shopping Day in Dublin today so you'd be right in saying it's the rest of the country.......

    I quite often get a really bad smell around the Port Tunnel openings, anyone else noticed this?

    A few bears, $? You must have had a really furry tongue this morning.

    Doesn't smell like sewage. It smells like the "ultra-modern, smell-free" autoclave-type incinerator plant 6 miles downwind and downhill and downriver from a place I sometimes stay in France.

    So it must have been Cheney and Rumsfield bringing the whiff of sulphur.
