The country hasn't been in recession for years and years. There is a very specific definition for that term, it is not perception based.

you know what i mean when I say recession. The English language is dynamic. when someone refers to a mobile phone, do you ask them if they mean 'cell phone' and that a mobile phone has a different meaning.

There's a difference between a different meaning and being completely and utterly wrong.

And no, I don't know what you mean as there are countless things someone could mean when they inaccurate use "recession". What specifically did you mean?

If you actually think there are signs of anything approaching a recession currently I suggest you need to pay a bit more attention!

And you think that a recession is causing that? House prices are going up due to a continued contraction in the national economy? Because that is what 'recession' means, absolutely nothing else.

Please learn what the word means before trying to use it again. And possibly some basic anger management skills.

recession had a technical meaning originally. something about economy shrinking two quarters in a row, or something like that, based on specific ways to measure of an economy. Recession is one of hte most regularly used words in Ireland for last 12 years. And yet people dont use it to mean the technical definition cause they dont know the technical definition is. they mean it generally as economy on the downturn. i would have thought that is the meaning people take it to be.

Now you started this discussion on the definition of a recession. dont you think this discussion should be based on Naas???

You think the economy is on the downturn? And that's causing house price rises?

You are the one who, insanely, brought up a recession - not me.

Yes but the schools there said it would help get my kids in!!

Caoimhe2010 · 29-01-2020 1:05pm

My son is due to start secondary school in Sept - he has a place in Piper's which we accepted as on waiting list for CBS (late 30's) wants to go to CBS. If there was someone who had a place in CBS and was waiting for a place in Piper's would the schools allow a swop? Getting anxious that he won't have a chance to get a place in CBS

You can't "swop", all you can do is accept or decline the place.

My son was in the same position some time ago, he got a place in CBS the day before they started back in September. I know a number of others got places in the first few days of term, as there are always a few who just don't turn up in September. If he doesn't get in, there may be a chance to transfer at the end of first year.

Thanks - yes will hold out for a place but it's very frustrating that people hold onto places till the last minute and don't let the school know they aren't going!

anyone know what the purpose of the road works between the Harvey Norman/B&Q business park and toughers business park on the road to Newbridge. Its beside the M7, so wondering if there is a new road or a new bridge over it. seems to be going on a while.

I’ll be glad when this election is over
Don’t think I have ever seen as many election candidates posters up between the ball and Naas racecourse
It’s absolutely ridiculous and far too many

It should be limited to a certain amount per Sq km

You should see Galway!

Should really be a limit of 2 per Street per candidate

2lazytogetup · 03-02-2020 8:49am

maybe there should be a size limitation to the poster. 60 cm x 30 cm

I can recommend Keith Ryan of DKR Heating Services, Newbridge (086-8702640). His average callout charge is around €80 and does a lot of work in the Naas area. Worth a call.

What do you guys make of this. freeing a part of the canal for a walk on a sunday.

https://www.leinsterleader.ie/news/news/516690/call-for-a-car-free-day-on-naas-canal-bank.html

i think its a great idea. will encourage me to bring the kids into town on their bikes. i know some of the canal is already fully pedestrianised but its mucky and stony and a bit dangerous. But the main paved road by the canal into town would be nice 1.5km stroll.

Good idea but here's 4 or 5 houses on that stretch of road and 5ish gates into fields mainly used by the stud farm plus the businesses at the Oberstown Bridge end of the bridge, I'm sure all of them would like car access 24 hour a day. Who pays to police this?

you obviously allow local access, as in the 4/5 houses using it is alot different than cars going through as a rat run, or scenic route.

To police, well it wouldnt be policed, relying on the good nature of road users. What you would do is put up traffic cones with a sign saying 'local access only' and then maybe a couple of other signs, story in leinster leader and naas ball facebook page.

There's no detail in the leinster leader link and spent a few minutes trawling through the Naas ball facebook page and couldnt find any relevant link there.

sorry i should have elaborated and apologies you having spent time going through the naas ball facebook. i meant in the context of notifying people that the road will be closed (if this proposal goes ahead) that you would advertise in the leinster leader and naas ball that the specifics that the road will be closed. Otherwise people will moan that they werent told about it. And i was responding to your query as to how this would be policed.

the only reference to this idea so far is the leinster leader article that i referenced above.

He seems very straight talking - that Judge.
