If you are rich and an addict - you can just buy drugs, if you're poor and an addict your first problem is you need to get money to buy drugs, very often by stealing or begging. Your not any less of an addict by virtue of being rich, but you're certainly less of a visible nuisance.

I can't understand why Elm golf course in D4, Miltown GC in D6 and Clontarf GC in D3 which take up huge amounts of land and all beside the dart line or luas track and close to town should be allowed to be used so inefficiently. It's crazy. It would be OK if they were public parks but these are private lands not open to the public. Probably right now there is less than 20 people on each one yet take take up hundreds of acers of prime land for old farts to woddle around them for a few hours. Have the farts drive out the N11 or M1 to courses in Wicklow or Meath etc. No need to have them 2 miles from the CC.

I don't mind seeing naked people, nevermind how old and flabby they might be, and I don't mind nuns or women wearing burqas. The only thing I DO mind is that it should be the person's choice how much or how little they wear.

There is nothing worse than during the recent heatwave seeing a dude walk through Dublin in shorts and t-shirt looking cool, when his wife and daughters are next to him in head to toe, face covered black cloth. That is not their choice surely and is as much of a problem as the stories you hear of boyfriends making their girlfriends wear baggy stuff as they have an issue with them dressing a certain way. Choice is key.

Good thing my garden isn't overlooked. Can't say if it was the choice of the ladies you mentioned - as I said, when growing up in Germany I saw nuns walk around in full black gear (long dress, long sleeves, and full head cover) in 37 degrees. But anyone unhappy with the clothing prescriptions society or their family is trying to place on them has my full support.

Theres some right prize gob****es on the road with no regard for other road users or pedestrians, and bad cyclists are up there as the worst of them.

I wanted to come on boards, and post some biased, bigoted nonsense that has no basis in fact to have a go at a vulnerable group. I was dreadfully disappointed when some nasty people (those vulnerable ones I was having a go at) used facts and evidence to prove me wrong. I hate it when facts get in the way of a good prejudiced rant.
