Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

And posters too.

Cllr lives in a caravan.. tell us more!

Joy bringing the misery.

I live in a town,

And was out of the town today i never took notice before of how many trees are growing up through power and phone lines, not just tipping the lines, but 9 foot and more through them 😟

I mentioned on one of the threads that I have 3 phase wires crossing my property with a huge horse Chestnut on the boundary, not my tree.
I rang ESB about it, they sent out two men and a truck who looked up at the branches growing through the wires and after 20 minutes concluded they needed cutting immediately and would dispatch a team (private tree surgeon contractors) to deal with it…..2 years ago. Still no sign.

It's a huge problem across the network and exacerbated by ash dieback.

people may not like it, but power lines have no business anywhere near trees. Also trees have no business lining the roads of the country. As long as this stays the same, the same power/broadband/phone cuts are going to keep happening

Do you have a Bridget?

I had an Auntie Bridgie (RIP)

Here's the wonderful Dublin City Council (in collab with the wonderful RTE) trying to convert St. Brigid's Day to something called Brigit's Weekend to "celebrate women" sans the most famous and well known symbol of St. Brigid, the reed cross.

The actual symbol must be eradicated by all means!

Bridge it.

Ha, KT's modrin wish forthere to be no actual St. Brigid gets kyboshed by caller

My Auntie Breda: She got viral arthritis in her 20's and for anyone else that would have been life over effectively. But she was such a strong person, she never let it get in her way. She was a nun and for most of her life worked as a social worker in Manchester. If you ever watched Shameless, she was going out to places like Chatsworth estate, dealing with people like Frank Gallagher on a daily basis. She was only 5' tall, with literally crippling arthritis, wore a brace on her foot and leg and walked with a cane, but if someone stood in her way she was like Yoda.

Drove an automatic car with no pedals in the early 90s when they were not common.

Thats my Breda story. No I wont be going on the show.

Start a row, KT: "Bridget: Louth or Kildare??"

God forgive me for saying this but yes.

I'm way ahead of you.
