    For a change it's a bit of an uplifting story. TT racing is a real high risk sport tho, many fatalities over the years.

    How is she ever going to be able to move out of the cabin. Cabins in parents gardens is not a solution. What happens if mammy and daddy want to sell up or die and it needs to be sold. The problems in a few years with these cabins will be huge.

    The idea being they can save up a few bob for their own house, or move into the parents when they pass away.

    These cabins are not cheap to buy in the first place and deteriorate and devalue over time - they would be far better living in with mammy and daddy for a few years and keeping their money for a house deposit rathar then buying a cabin.

    As for moving into the house when parents pass away - its not always that simple when there are siblings involved or the fair deal scheme is availed of.

    Personally I think sticking cabins in the back garden is a dreadful solution.

    As some politician said on Primetime a few months ago "it's a secure place for them to live while they prepare for their next home transition".

    I think the city houses with any bit of a garden will be littered with these cabins, and have them rented out for obscene money. Joe led the charge to get rid of bedsits, but at least they were part of the building's structure, and also suited some people.

    I really don't think they have thought this through properly. This can lead to so many problems.

    funny you mention bedsits I toured round southern Finland last year most of the places I stayed were in new blocks of flats which were bedsits and would be illegal in Ireland. getting rid of them was definitely a mistake they are needed as one part of the housing mix.

    Colm, almost called 'Joe' by Louise.

    Fraca Dublin city centre: Caller afraid of being in Dublin now days.

    What will happen to my child when I die?

    I know central Dublin is a bit of a kip but you’d swear it was Gaza with calls like this.

    RTE hardly ever covers the indigenous unwells and gurriers with multiple previous convictions wandering around town. The days of Queuing for a Living are long gone, when was the last time you heard the great Paddy O'Gorman on air.

    The auld lad that runs it appears to suffer from PTSD from dealing with the local unwells. I fear it may have recently closed.

    I'll not ring in and mention how Iceland won't be having to worry about how to care for it's Downs' Syndrome populace in a number of years.

    Wouldn't be fair to those struggling parents.

    She's right

    It's a fookin kip

    Nationwide doing some puff piece about a craft shop in Dublin or whatever don't change what the place is like at ground level.

    Towards the end of Mary Street there was some nice martial arts and military surplas stores if she fancied getting tooled up for her shopping trips.

    Colm not happy with her wanting a robust police response to uncivil behaviour. Now he is supporting the System with CSO crime figures.

    My mother in her 80s told me last week she went in to the VHI office on Abbey Street to clarify coverage for an upcoming procedure in person, as she "couldn't make head nor tail of them" on the phone. She headed back across the Rosie Hackett bridge to get the bus home from Tara Street. No bother to her. I was horrified tbh, and enquired was she not worried about all the junkies and scumbags around the Luas on Abbey Street and on the bridge. She said she was grand and didn't notice a thing.

    We used to go in together most weeks but we stopped after Covid because it was gone so rough and dirty. I find the place nasty these days for the most part, but you can't argue with the mammy!

    That's is the problem with the System. Your paperwork arrives on a desk, the person goes on maternity leave etc and nothing is looked at for a year.

    I remember one government project. Quite literally boxes of stuff arrived unannounced in the door. There were a few issues with it. We were going get more with fixes. Nothing ever arrived. Ask them about it a few years later and turned out the lad doing the project had left soon after and they had abandoned project. Probably spent a small fortune on the initial work.
