The response was “f*#k off”. I think the person regretted their gut response when I challenged them, so I won’t mention the business. But the residual pavement space in some locations is just awful.

I've been at more of those events than I care to remember down the years and its always professionals, I can even name the two main providers. I remember the Indo covering the costs in a wider FoI story once. You could always send one in yourself to DCC or DLR and see what comes back.

Cyrus wrote: » Even worse you can't see it coming, why are you trying to establish what happened does it make any difference to you?
Zaney wrote: » Why do you need to know. Does it make it acceptable if I can walk out onto the road with the buggy? As it happened there were cars parked kerbside so I couldn’t. I turned back as far as to where I could cross to the other side , walked along the other side of the road till past the premises and then crossed again to get back to where I was going.

But while not desirable, it doesn't make it unacceptable that a parent might have to push a buggy on a road. So long as it is not done recklessly, its not the M50, or not as the previous poster stated that children are pushed into oncoming traffic, then its probably fine!
Zaney wrote: » Yep undesirable - sums up Dun Laoghaire pretty well.
Mav11 wrote: » Well it might make a difference to me, if I'm pushing a buggy down there in the future. Or maybe I have a thing about overcrowded pavements. Could be a million reasons. I see you got the point about oncoming vs following traffic, well done.
