Anyone going for walks in the Monread lately? The amount of pollution/bad air quality/diesel fumes is something else. I’ve never experienced anything like it, not even in Dublin, Rome or NYC.

Yeah it's atrocious. Every second house has a fire burning. I suggest not walking outside after 3pm. The air is quite bad for your health.

Doesn't seem to be any stigma about burning logs and sending fumes to walkers outside.

Just a reminder that the revised GDA transport strategy is going to be written in the coming months. This is our biggest chance to have a say in transport policy decisions that are made within the Greater Dublin Area. In particular in Naas we suffer from huge deficits of public transport when compared to similar large towns on the commuter belt like Bray (benefits from 7+ high frequency Dublin Bus routes and DART). We, in Naas, are not included in any transport infrastructure projects like the DART expansion and BusConnects. Yet the N7 is the most congested road into the city. This is your chance to have your say.

It's chimney smoke I think. There is one house that is particularly bad and they must be burning wet wood or something. Not nice.

Got a nice door and triple glazed windows at the front off them about five years ago and I would recommend.

I second this, I put them in last year and I really regret it!

100% agreed, my new build at NAAS. called them 2 times last two years, and told me this is very common for new build as the concrete need to settle. :eek::eek:

LOL DONT NEAR THEM ( but the builders love them somehow ??)

Different experience here. Have used them several times with no complaint.

I've had them basically rot out of the openings on a house; there's an entire thread in the Cork City forum mostly of people with problems with them.

I've had a sub-par installation done by a local firm to a perfectly OK door made by someone else; but Munster do both manufacture and installation and I've found both to be sub-par in my experience.

Lakeside are local enough give them a call anyway and they’ll look after you

Can anyone recommend a good window and door crowd? Looking to get uPVC windows and french doors installed in property we just moved into. Anyone you've used personally or that a friend has.

Coldest time of year and the windows here are a tad draughty. Could do with updating.

Any recommendations for Naas opticians ?

I have used Tesco Vision Express (and when they were Tesco Opticians) for 3 of my kids for many years now. They have a wide price range for frames and you get what you pay for. I find the Optician there very good. He was great when my daughter wanted to try contacts and has always been great with the kids.
I also go there for my own eye tests and glasses. They were able to diagnose blind spots in one eye and they are able to tell me if they are getting worse. Their selection of frames is not as extensive as the larger stores but I found frames that suited my needs and are long lasting.
The lense quality is very good, the lense doesn't scratch easily when you get the anti scratch coating on them.

Depends on how strong you need the glasses. If its just for some low-strength throwaway reading glasses, then Specsavers are alright.

However, for most people you want a decent set that'll last. Teahon's, as mentioned above, are excellent. Yes, they're not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

There's also Patricia Kavanagh's on the Dublin road, near Boots. She is really good too, and maybe slightly more reasonably priced than Teahon's. Infocus on Friary Road were fine when we used them about ten years ago, but its either Teahon's or Kavanagh's for me.

Naas Dunnes

Infocus Opticians on Friary Road are very good.

beertons

For me, they are far superior. Young lad went there too. Frames much stronger, better fit.

Teahans gave me glasses for wearing all the time when I needed reading and screen glasses. When I went back they changed them but would not admit they made a mistake so for years I didn’t know if I should be wearing glasses all the time. Now I go to specsavers

Teahan's.

Are they not overly expensive? I’ve never bought from them. But my old man was charged 85 euro for an eye test when he was buying glasses from them. Seemed an extortionate price to me. I’d be expecting a free eye test when I was committed to buying an expensive pair from any opticians.

Voucher was very easy to purchase from Osprey I must say. my original plan was to buy him something from little woods but they make it so hard to complete the purchase I just gave up.
