When people see your fellow members acting in this manner with impunity conjoined with relative inaction for other matter such as on pavement parking, double yellow parking etc, they feel that they can do the same thing themselves. There is a thing in the Irish psyche that we like to push the limits, thumb our nose at authority (maybe an anti-British thing). The effect of this is that we can rarely have nice things and not have them besmirched. Gardai should be like Caesar’s wife, ie above reproach, as opposed to poster children for rule breakers. Wasn’t if Bill Brattton who called it the broken windows theory - little infringements whic are allowed to be unpunished result in a greater impact of lawlessness on people generally.

Get some of the dirt analysed and there will likely be something in it that will be a danger to the local kids or dogs and use this as leverage . Next as a group of high net worth individuals you should employ someone to lobby on your behalf in order to get automatic gates approved. Nothing is set in stone and any spend will more than be made up for in the resulting gain in house prices.

If that's the case I fail to see why OP can't just do as previously mentioned and put in gates or clamping and forget about the council taking charge as it obviously wont happen.

Vestiapx wrote: » Clamping is crass and also likely to be ineffective and do you really want Karen doing your head in over how you scratched the wheel of her Kia? Worse yet is if a visitor was to be clamped, crazy embarrassing. Gates are the answer the question is who do we have to pay to get gates .

No need. There was a creche around the corner on a main road and some of the parents you to park in there when bringing their kids to and from creche. No problem at all. So much space to park. So this one resident banded a few others together and got 2 space marked out for each apartment. So people used to park in the no marked out space. Still loads of room. Next thing there was a clamping company brought in. And there is the woman every day sitting at her window checking and calling the clamper when a car would park there. It got so bad that visitors to people living there were getting clamped. Had she nothing else to do but spend her days working on a cause for no other reason than she didnt want people parking in HER apartment block car park. People need to lighten up.

Your choice will not be cold or wet or unguided for children. The latter choice may even be ascribed as neglect. There are lots of warm and dry places to exercise, obseity is a function of available lifestyle and inequality, simply more income allows better choices and better lifestyle.

This notion that their walking in rain is somehow neglectful and unsafe is just ridiculous. Poor Oisín and Fionn can take a bit of splashing in the 'hammering' rain if parents dress them properly. No need to be clogging up the whole place and trespassing with SUVs just to keep them 'warm, dry and safe'. Such hand wringing nonsense.
