What was the reason gave that your neighbour wants you to cut it for?

Also what did the council say on the phone and what was their reason for wanting you to cut it for?

overhanging bushes which is bull****, the council wouldn't come out and look.

Could be blocking sunlight from their dwelling?
Could be overhanging further up than car height?
Could have been growing out before the op cut the ditch tearing wrapped silage bales being transported on the lane?

Use a lane here to get to leased land and I don't own the land either side and I just went ahead and cut the ditches back off the lane out of my own pocket. The one landowner owned all the ditches though.

Heard tell of another landowner in another county who was green in politics and never cut their roadside ditches citing protection of birds and wildlife when it was just an excuse for tardiness. It got so bad on this narrow country lane that the whole parish was giving out about them and damage to cars, lorries, tractors. Eventually with pressure from the council they relented and asked a hedgecutting contractor to give it a light trim.
As soon as the contractor started people were stopping telling the contractor to cut it back to the scut as it would be 10 more years before the hedge would be cut again. The contractor being from the same parish had that idea anyway and cut it right back. Moral of the story a properly maintained cut thick bush attracts more wildlife than a neglected bush and protection of wildlife can be used as an excuse for being a mean lazy hoor.

He complained after I cut the lane just a p*ick. The lane is a lot lower the the field its probably 6-7foot lower and my hedge on top of that its probably nearly 20foot high from the tarmac and 12-14 from the field. theres no overhanging bushes and all on top is loads of straight ash samplings and whitethorn. he has no dwelling there and the field faces north anyway so only ever blocks sun for me.sure the guy the other side of the lane his hedge is all collapsed because the this p*ick pushed it all into the drain with his tractor. A few years ago he sprayed the hole lane and it took two years to recover.

You should have asked him why he bothered ringing you so.

Took a bad knock to the ribs very sore so went to the VHI Swift Care clinic. It went like this:

Parked 30 foot from the door, free parking.
Admin took my details.
Free coffee but no time to drink it.
Nurse assessed me asking questions and checked blood pressure and temperature.
Doctor then assessed me physically.
Given pain relief.
X-rayed to check for broken rib or punctured lung.
X-rays read.
Doc back, nothing broken just bruised ribs.
Given prescription for pain and anti inflammatory.
Back to admin, had a chat and paid €47 for x-rays.
Out the door and into the car.
Total time, 55 minutes.

I know I'm paying for the VHI but this is my third time to use swift care this year, great service.

Last time I had a rib injury I went to the doctor and he sent me to a&e, took 9 hours..... And then had to pay for hospital parking.... And had to pay a lot more for the doc and a&e fees.

Is this a private lane with rights of way, or a public road, maintained by the council.

Brought the two oldest kids to the rugby match today for first time. They had a ball. Left the car in the red cow park and ride and got luas in. Paid for parking and fit tickets for us all. Think I was the only one actually paying tickets. Everyone seemed to be just hopping on.
Got off at connolly and paid for dart tickets . It was like sardines.

Watched the match and did public transport back again. Painfully slow. Got to redcow and me ****ing car is clamped. Waiting over an hour now for the prick to drclamp it. €85 and waiting around Ruined a good day.

Parking ticket expired by 20 mins.

Sickening dose, especially with kids with you.

Got caught myself in Trinity grounds. Herself had a student room booked for a week in the summer, wee lassie stayed up there at a summer camp.
Jeep was logged as having parking privileges, but clamper refused to recognise them. The 2 prìcks at the entrance barrier hut had called them on me.

Likewise, 85 Euro.

Bought a pair of 3 foot bolt cutters the next weekend, and they live in the boot of the car ever since.

Feckin sure.
Only ordinary chain, not tempered or hardened.

Organised mugging.

In my case it was " now your clamped, even though we recognise that your in the right, you must pay for release and then claim it back"

Appeal was rejected. As I suspected.

For some reason that song always reminds me of GTA. Was it on one of the radio stations or in a gay bar or something?

You could be right, think it was with the men dressed as the YMCA guys dancing on the stage. I was crap at it, used to go around in the combine and spend ages killing hookers to get my money back

Well I paid the 2€ with the tickets. Thought that was half day rate and it was 2.45 at that stage. Didn't think it would take so long to get out of city.
Lesson learned. Get a bolt cutter for boot of car

I wouldn't mind but there is loads of parking close enough and you would be out on stillorgan road and on M50 in 20 minutes.

You won't get the blame for Gerry Adams announcing his retirement so.

Wise move.
