    Exactly what it is

    Who in their right mind would drive along like that?

    And on a motorway:rolleyes:

    Incredibly dangerous and complete incompetence. Hope he get's done for that

    Hopefully the Guards spotted him. It was so windy today, that could have taken off.

    There was a pod of dolphins hunting off of Tower Beach in Portrane yesterday evening. According to some of our neighbours they tend to hang around for a bit at this time of year if anyone fancies taking their smallies dolphin watching!

    I love dolphins - the last time I saw some was at high rock in Malahide one Sunday afternoon a few years ago. Thanks for that, I'll go up and have a look for them :)

    Good old JC's, with the water crisis going on in Meath and Louth they're selling 5l bottles of water for €1. Apparently the supermarkets in the affected areas have been running out, and people have been travelling to get drinking water.

    A new pharmacy opened in Skerries
    It's a Mecca for pharmacies

    Skerries is to pharmacies what Balbriggan is to fast food joints.

    Best of luck to Sean Oakes though. Nice guy.

    Good Lord, the state of the car park at Airside today. :/ And I only saw it from the bus.

    Was it packed? We were in Blanchardstown centre and it was mental earlier but quietened down quite a bit around 3 o'clock.

    When isn't it? I try to avoid Airside as much as possible tbh. Whoever designed the carpark layout should be taken out back and shot!

    Same here. Frankly, it's an absolute disgrace.

    Interestingly not Malahide though. Apparently the local businesses said that people just abused it last year and used the DART to go into town.
    While there may well be a bit of abuse, I think it will come across as mean-spirited to the locals who will see all the other towns getting the free parking.

    Absolutely mean spirited. All they had to do was insist people still got a ticket from the machine and displayed, but that the first 2 hours would be free? If I was a retailer in Malahide I would be very annoyed.

    I thought Malahide did it anyway, but it seems not. That's not very fair. They must make a fortune from the pay machines there.

    Lusk Athletics Club put up a note on FB recently (May 31st) asking people to be vigilant of strange faces and cars. Found it a little troubling as it read as a child safety issue. Asking people to notify Gardai if something doesn't seem right. Anyway, FYI.
