    Does anybody know where I could buy a few Limerick postcards please? Any little shop have them? Most of the shops are closed and I can't be driving outside the 5k! Thanks

    The newsagents in Arthur's Quay sell post cards.

    I have bought from them twice since the first of January . Their site has changed now so the uk vat is taken off and the Irish vat is put on so you see the exact price you are going to be charged ( this was done before but it was shown properly or easily or something that i can't think of the word for ;) ) . I have noticed lettle to no difference between now and last year . Latest purchase was an Amazon Fire HD 8 , arrived within the week , no extra charges no dealing with couriers or customs .

    Zero brexit issues with competent companies.

    Hook &Ladder? Could they not offer the free drinks from their premises, why do the need to break the planning laws to do it?

    You cant blame the council here lads. if they let hook and ladder park up a rig because they are offering free drinks every man and his dog will have a rig parked up. Fair enough the laws are ****e and need to be changed, but if they laws are there they need to be enforced for everyone until they are.

    A young lad was shut down in Mungret recently in his rig, if he is to be shut down then hook & ladder should be shut down.

    If hook and ladder are that concerned go and get permission from the HSE to park up on site and offer free drinks to hse staff only

    And ill say it once more before someone jumps down my throat. yes the laws are ****e.

    The article says it was in conjunction with hse management, meaning they did all that you said they should, and someone reported it to the council, or a member of staff in the council saw it and stuck their nose in.

    I wholeheartedly agree that laws should be enforced evenly, however giving stuff away doesn't require a licence for trading as no trade has taken place.

    The article also states that the council had evidence that he had traded, it also states that if they wanted to give out free tea/coffee to everyone then he wasn't trading and could continue.
    but the Council claimed it had evidence they had been trading.

    On February 15th, a representative of Hook & Ladder received an email from a council official which stated, “if you are giving out free coffees/teas etc to all customers then you are not in breach of the Casual Trading Act, and the Council will not be pursuing you under this legislation”.

    The ball is in his court.

    Our legal system isn't designed for the accused to prove their innocence, it is on the prosecutor to prove guilt. If there was evidence above someone seeing coffee being distributed from the van then they would just proceed with a prosecution. Their actions, to me, show that that have no evidence to show that the company was actually trading and as such have sent a letter back tracking and asking for evidence of the operator's innocence to avoid proceeding with the prosecution, which would allow them to save face if it wound up in a civil court.

    You should never lay bitumen or tarmac over wet ground. The reason being that water pockets are created under the surface and when they evaporate then evaporate and the surface can crack creating potholes on the newer surface.

    Now, I've not been out there(outside my 5kms) so don't know what stage they're at. If still digging holes and whatnot then ignore what I said as only applies to surfacing.

    Sure you probably walked past him, and didn't even notice him if he was covering his 'tache.

    Nothing new there, sure most politicians would turn up for the opening of an envelope. A new footpath is somewhat creative.
